Amnesty International Quinte invites the community to mark International Women’s Day with We Are One, a peaceful, family-friendly gathering in solidarity with women and girls around the world.
The event will be on Sunday, March 8 from noon to 1 p.m. at Market Square. People of all ages and genders are welcome.
The gathering will be a quiet, reflective space to acknowledge the lived realities of women and girls whose basic human rights are too often denied, while affirming shared humanity and collective responsibility.
The gathering will begin with a brief welcome at noon, followed by a silent action. Participants will walk together to the area of Front and Bridge Streets and stand along the sidewalk with placards highlighting a country, an area of concern, and the message “WE ARE ONE.”
