Next Tuesday (8th March) is the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day!
Maslaha will be joining the charge led by our (soon to be) new (and unsuspecting) friend Annie Lennox – we have invited her to perform ‘Sisters are doing it for themselves’ onstage with us at the event at South Bank, an offer surely no one can refuse.
But seriously, join us and thousands of women across the globe by taking part in the ‘Join Women on the Bridge’ campaign organized by Women for Women International. We want to bring together as many people as possible to show solidarity for women in war-torn countries across the world, and to raise awareness about the issues that continue to affect women of all cultures and faiths.
Maslaha is a partner in this campaign, which you can read more about here: www.womenforwomen.org/bridge/index.php
The march, led by Annie Lennox, will leave Borough Market at 11.00am, walking along the south side of the river to Millennium Bridge, crossing the Thames to the North side then continuing west along the river walk way past Victoria Embankment Gardens, then crossing back along Golden Jubilee Bridge to the South side of the river and finishing outside Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre for speeches at 12.30.
We will be congregating from 10am onwards at Borough Market.
In particular, we would be extremely grateful if you could forward this or our Facebook event (below) to everyone who you think might be interested.

Thank you, and we hope to see you out on the streets next Tuesday!
