Sunday, March 8 is International Women’s Day, and IIE is partnering with the United Nations Women for Peace Association to promote an international social media campaign called #IWalk4Women. We invite you to join the campaign to end violence against women by marching with us this Sunday. 

We will start at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (47th St & 2nd Ave) at 2:30 PM and end at Times Square (42nd St & 7th Ave) at 5:00 PM. The march will be flagged off by the UN Women Executive Director following a short program of 30 minutes. Eminent celebrities, a New York indigenous women’s group, and a girls’ dance troupe are on the program. Overall, the march will be a celebration that will include singing, marching, raising slogans, and showing solidarity for gender equality and women’s rights. At the same time, the march will help point out the existing gaps and barriers to achieving gender equality. Please come and show your support!
