Dear all,
South Australian women are invited to a meeting of the local group to
organise the World March of Women event in Adelaide for Saturday October
7th 2000.
The World March of Women in the Year 2000 is a seven-month community
awareness event involving women in 155 countries around the world. Its aims
are: the elimination of poverty worldwide, greater equity in the sharing of
wealth between women and men; and the elimination of violence against women.
The World March of Women was launched internationally on International
Women's Day this year and will conclude with a world rally in New York on
October 17th, (International Day for the Elimination of Poverty) when
millions of cards from people around the world will be presented to
secretary general Kofi Annan at United Nations headquarters. In addition,
there will be a mass rally in Washington outside the International Monetary
Fund and World Bank on October 15th.
The first local meeting for organising the Adelaide event will be held on
Thursday 13th July at 11 am at 5 Hutt Street, Adelaide.
Can you please pass this on to any women who agree with the aims of the
World March of Women and who would like to help with the work?
Many thanks and all the best,
Cathy Picone
LL.SG
