International Women's Day Fair: Women as Peacekeepers

Spend an afternoon of renewal, revolution and celebration with Bay Area women as we
celebrate the legacy of the early women's peace movement; a movement that began over
100 years ago when courageous women in countries worldwide began actively voicing
their need for equal rights, peace and universal suffrage.

The fair is a call to action for women to continue to assert ourselves wherever
conflict resides and to support women in conflicted countries and communities here
at home.

The fair will include:
a.. Exhibitors with art, music, goods, and information representing women's
contributions to peace.
b.. Speakers from various women's organizations around the Bay and the world.
c.. Delegation of six emerging Afghan women leaders will talk about their progress
and strugges for full participation in their new democracy.
d.. Opportunities to exchange thoughts, views and vision.
CodePink is a co-sponsor of this event and will have a table, so come by and say hi!
