Women In Afghanistan Will March On IWD–They NEED Your Support


On March 8th, International Women’s Day, at 10am

They believe only Afghans can stop the violence against other Afghans. They want to stop the killing of their sons, husbands, brothers, fathers and families.

They have taken their cue from two ordinary women in Ireland who, in the 1970s, grew angry because Irish were killing Irish. These women went door to door and convinced women to march for peace. They later won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Women in Kandahar, the most violent Afghan province, were the first to declare they will gather on March 8th. They wrote:

“Today we drove by the site of the third suicide bomber in three days. We are ready to follow in the footsteps of our Irish sisters. For the past seven years Afghans have celebrated March 8th with cheap gifts given to women to “honor” them. This year, the women in Kandahar loudly say “the best gift for us is peace in our country.”

Please support these brave Afghan women with your signature as they march peacefully to loudly proclaim PEACE NOW on March 8th at 10 am.

1. Some of them had better carry AK-47s, though...

The Taliban have already demonstrated their utter contempt for these women - and they have no reservations about intimidating or even openly attacking them.

There's some shift going on - throughout the region and we're talking everywhere North Asia to Southeast Asia to India.... There are more organizations forming themselves, all over this planet and it's in every country, it's in every economic sector, it's every kind of person, it's in every city and there's no leader, there's no spokesperson, there's no ideology - it's the biggest movement in human history.
