35,000 Women March in Brazil
By INTENATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 10/03/2005 At 16:42

In São Paulo the march counted on the presence of 35 a thousand women, about 110 buses had all come of the country bringing women of diverse social movements. It was organized in sections of solidarity, equality, justice and peace, freedom having represented the axles of the Letter.

On March 8th, 2005, a national mobilization organized by the Worldwide March of Women, was held in São Paulo to support the passage of denunciation, protest, and construction of alternatives for the five continents. As the result of the long process of participation and convergence of people and regional communities, a letter from the women of Brazil to all of humanity is currently being signed. The letter is based on the values of equality, freedom, solidarity, justice and peace. After it?s signed in Brazil, the letter is being passed along to 49 countries, finally arriving at Burkina Faso on October 17th. On that day, activities are planned worldwide to occur, with 24 hours of feminist solidarity to complete the letter?s voyage.

Participants of the march in all the continents created the letter collectively through debates and suggestions. Presented for the first time in Porto Alegre, during Social Forum 2005, activists in Brazil are working to construct agendas of mobilization and action based on the express values of the document.

In São Paulo, 35,000 women participated in the march, with about 110 buses coming from all over the country bringing together women of diverse social movements. It was organized by the various movements based around solidarity, equality, justice and peace, with freedom being represented and defended by the core values of the letter. The day finished with a show in the center of the city and the passing of the letter to the next country, Argentina.
