March for Girls to commemorate International Women’s Day

Guyanese women will join countless others around the Caribbean who will be marching in recognition of the historic achievements women have made worldwide, and to continue the struggle for equality.

Hosted under the title, ‘A March for Girls,’ the march will begin at 3:00pm at Stabroek Market Square on Saturday, March 11, and will proceed east along Brickdam towards the Square of the Revolution.

Upon the conclusion of the march, survivors of sexual abuse and violence will be given an opportunity to share their stories; it is also expected that persons will be able to participate in a brief self-defence session.
