With apologies to Joe for failing the Guest/non-Music rule here, but I hope that other women in the UK might find this information of interest:

Million Women Rise 2012

This years march (in something just over a fortnight) is dedicated to the Girl Child, so as well as being appropriate for all campaigners against Male violence towards Women, it may be particularly pertinent for those who may have suffered childhood abuse at the hands of a male family member or acquaintance.

I understand that Songs will be welcome.

From their blurb:

"There is a natural kind of freedom that sisterhood holds…
A unity of sisters in a common cause.
Glorious,fully self acknowledged, fabulous.
Free from Self doubt, Self hatred and Self treachery.
The collection of Sisters that honours the feminine spirit and their global contribution.
The space for Self love, authentic Self expression and creativity.
Brimming with organic,intuitive and non-linear ideas and theories.
The stand that all Sisters, everywhere, fearlessly proclaim their bold Self and lead the
Charge to healing and transforming the planet.
The freedom for all sisters is simply to be true to self.

In sisterhood and solidarity
Million Women Rise

Join us as we demonstrate and celebrate our power as women together through Central London along Oxford St to our Rally in Trafalgar Square

Together we can end male violence against women and children

it is good!"
