Women's March Against Male Violence
28th June 2021
Women's March Against Male Violence
The march is organised by Manchester Feminist Network and supported by Make More Noise!, Northern Radfem Network and YES Matters! It is taking place Saturday 3rd July, 5pm and the starting point is near the Emmeline Pankhurst statue, St Peter’s Square, Manchester City Centre.
Note from the organisers:
Violence against Women is a global pandemic. We call on all women to march to demonstrate against male violence in all its forms! Rape, sexual abuse, domestic violence, trafficking, prostitution, sexual harassment, lesbophobia, porn culture and the objectification and sexualisation of women and girls affect all women. Much of this has been exacerbated during lockdown. An estimated 4.6 million women, (28% of the adult population), have experienced domestic abuse at some point since the age of 16.
We are marching to remember Sarah Everard and the other 74 women (that we know about) who have been killed so far by men in the UK in 2021. We march in solidarity with all the women seeking asylum in the UK due to FGM, forced marriage and persecution due to race, sexuality, religious or political belief.
Wear Green, Purple and White to remember our suffragette foremothers and/or red as a symbol of our anger and to represent the blood that connects us as women.
Women rarely see justice for the crimes done towards us. Bring your mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, work colleagues and march with us.
