What actions are planned in your area, whether demonstrations, cultural events or other events? In Montréal, the demo is TODAY, at 12:30 p.m. - well, it won't really get under way until 1 pm. Needless to say the main focus will be on the more anti-woman aspects of the Charest government's labour and social policies: fighting sub-contracts and precarious work, for pay equity and especially to defend the CPEs (Centres de la petite enfance) the so-called "$5 a day daycares" - Charest raised the fee to $7 a day and they are still woefully underfunded. Looks like a nice day here, though not as warm as earlier in the week. Date : Dimanche 7 mars 2004
Lieu : Montréal
Rassemblement : 12h30 au Carré Dominion
(coin Peel et René-Lévesque - métro Peel)
Trajet : Départ de la manifestation à 13h00 en direction du Bureau du Premier ministre Charest In Paris, the demonstration yesterday was large but divided, the more old-school feminists with the traditional demands about violence, defending abortion and employment rights etc. and a large contingent organised by "Ni Putes ni Soumises", an association of young women in immigrant ghettoes. The latter group is strongly in favour of the legislation banning veils among school pupils, the former opposed to such legislation and seeing it as a divisive issue. I haven't heard from any other demonstrations elsewhere in the world.
