To mark the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day
Sat 19 March 2011 - All welcome
Organised by Red Thread, co-ordinator of the Global Women’s Strike in Guyana, and endorsed by Grassroots Women across Race and the Red Thread Domestic Violence & Rape Survivors Self-Help Group
“A Mothers’ March” - Poem by Eusi Kwayana
It is North and it is South
The Global Women’s strike
The Mothers’ march
March twelve, twenty one-one
This is not a poem: it is a salute
to the world’s Women and the Mothers among them.
In my native Guyana I would be in their ranks
With a few other men
Like the manly Payday Brothers of Ingland “the Bitch”
That once saw a strong woman as a witch.
