MILLION WOMEN RISE

Saturday 6th March 2010

 

The Million Women Rise walk in support of Violence Against Women 2010 will take place on Saturday 6th March 2010 to mark International Women's Day.

The event brings together women from across the UK to break the silence surrounding violence against women and to demand more support and justice for victims.

It is a great opportunity to meet with other women involved in the No More Violence Against Women campaign and to share success stories and campaigning tips.

NFWI will also be hosting a stall at the rally where the Map of Gaps quilt will be on display.  If you were kind enough to contribute  a square, this will be a great opportunity to see it up close.
