Women’s March On goes Saturday

Women and their supporters will be participating in the third annual Nanaimo Women March On Saturday.

The event aims to raise awareness about women’s’ issues and create transformative social change.

The Haven Society’s Chantal Lambert said the focus will be on the issue of violence against women and children and the lack of funding for women’s resource organizations.

“Also, one of the things that we’ve tried to do, we’ve invited a diverse range of speakers to come who represent women of different cultures and different experiences and different backgrounds, we are really asking our speakers to bring a call to action.”

The Nanaimo Family Life Association, the VIU Students’ Union, Nanaimo Pride Society, VIU Faculty Association and the Nanaimo Women’s Centre will also be participating in the walk that starts at Maffeo Sutton Park at 11.
