Global Women’s Strike
An
End to Poverty and War -- Invest in Caring Not Killing!
A Living Wage for All our Work & Pay Equity in the Global Market
Events
5-14 March 2005
In
International Women’s Week from 5 March, women in over 60 countries
are gathering our forces to end the twin terrors of poverty and war. The
tsunami killed almost 300,000 people, but what about the uncounted
thousands who die daily from starvation, disease, global warming and war
– all man-made disasters caused by the rule of money and the market!
While governments and their beloved multinationals talk of ending
poverty, they criminalise our very survival.
They deny us the money and basic resources which our communities
need and our work has earned many times over.
