- WORLD MARCH OF WOMEN: The WMW has sent an appeal for the different countries to participate and there are already 17 countries where some initiative will be organized. These initiatives are called usually in coordination with other social movements and NGOs or with local chapters of international networks. For January 26th, WMW international committee is suggesting to the local groups to organize a week/day of demonstrations of solidarity with women globally, especially with those who are in conflict zones such as Burma, Colombia, Haiti, Iran, DRC, Sudan and who will not be able to be in the streets on that day. The proposal is to strengthen solidarity amongst women and show that violence is also a reality in each country, in all circumstances - http://www.wmw-action26january.blogspot.com/
