Start Women's March New-West – October 4

Women's March New-West: together for safe streets
On Sunday, October 4, the Women's March New-West will take place. Women, girls, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and allies will come together to speak out against street harassment and for safety, freedom, and equality.
This year, the march starts at Garage Notweg, the place where QueerHub New-West is also located. We find that meaningful. QueerHub is joining as a solidarity partner and is happy to open its doors as the starting point for the march.
Women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ individuals do not form one group and each have their own experiences, perspectives, and needs. At the same time, we share the right to move through the city safely and freely and to be ourselves. Solidarity does not mean that we are the same, but that we stand by each other when safety and equality are under pressure.
Different experiences, shared struggle. Stronger together.
Program
We start at Garage Notweg (1st floor) by making banners, protest signs, and T-shirts. At 2:00 PM, we will walk together to the Tuinstadhuis. There, we will discuss various statements. Afterwards, there will be space to chat with snacks and drinks.
Why this march?
Many women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ individuals do not always feel free and safe on the streets, not even in New-West. With this march, we show that everyone has the right to safety, freedom, and equality.
