Million Women Rise

Saturday 6 March 2010 - Central London

We are calling all women to join Million Women Rise on Saturday 6th March 2010 in central London to celebrate 100 years Anniversary of International Women's Day and demonstrate against male violence.

Our theme for 2010 is
End the RAPE of Women,
End the RAPE of our Earth.

We encourage women to wear red and/or green.

"We are at a threshold. We are going to see change. If we can create the vision in our heart, it will spread. As women of wisdom we cannot be divided. As bringers of light, we have no choice but to join together" - Agness Baker Pilgrim (Grandmothers Council)

Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans (LGBT) History Month

Celebrate LGBT History month. February of each year has been set aside in the UK to mark and celebrate the lives and achievements of Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Trans people. LGBT History Month is an opportunity for everyone to learn more about the histories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Britain and Northern Ireland.

Until recently, most LGBT people preferred to avoid attention. Many still do. Even today, the penalties for those who refuse to conceal themselves, or fail to do so, can be severe. They can range from ostracism and victimisation to assault and even murder.
