In Azerbaijan, an initiative group of feminist women holds a march of "8 MARCH" in order to return the true essence to the 8th of March.

That day we will unite for the sake of freeing the society from patriarchy, delivering our voice, and getting rid of off male hegemony.

More than 100 women are killed in Azerbaijan every year on the basis of domestic violence. More and more cases of violence remain hidden without complaint. Women who have been beaten, sexually harassed or subjected to forced labor can not receive the support they need. Therefore, this day, which reflects women's struggle for their rights, we are going against the violence.

The route of the march will start from the Azad Qadin (Independent Woman) statue to the one of Khurshudbanu Natavan.

The aim of the rally is to draw attention to the killings of women and all forms of violence against women and to eliminate them. 

March is open to anyone who is not indifferent to these problems.

Special note:

It is forbidden to reproduce slogans that are provocative and do not comply with the purpose of the rally.  

The organizing committee will take care of it.

Date and time: March 8 at 14:00

Venue: Azad Qadin's Statue

MARCH against violence!
