24 hours of global feminist action

On October 17, organize World March of Women actions where you live! Last December the World March of Women adopted a Women's Global Charter for Humanity which describes the world that we as women want to build, based on five key values: freedom, equality, solidarity, justice and peace. (You will find the Charter at: http://www.worldmarchofwomen.org). Since March 8 of this year, the Charter has traveled around the world, and women have organized actions to raise awareness of its content, challenge decision-makers in their countries, organize debates and support their daily campaigns. During this World Relay, a solidarity patchwork quilt was constructed with a cloth square from each country. You can see this quilt and monitor the Relay 's progress by logging on to a new 2005 section of the World March of Women web site: http://mmf.lecarrefour.org.
