In commemoration of 8 March, International Women’s Day, groups of men and women from towards the European Commission and proclaim that the veil is a manifestation of political Islam and a symbol of the oppression of women.

The march towards Brussels and the European Commission building will begin on Friday 2 March from Germany.

During the march, meetings and speeches will be organised along the way. Once there, they will submit a grievance against the veil to the European Commission.

Our march is against the veil. It is the voice of protest of millions of women against this symbol of slavery. We demand the banning of child veiling as well as the banning of the veil in all work places and social centres.

Join us in Brussels to express your opposition to the veil and anti-women Islamic laws. Show your support for the widespread women’s liberation and equality seeking movement in Iran.

Long live 8 March, International Women's Day!
Long live Women’s Freedom
Long live socialism

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN

...who knows where she's going
and will keep on until she gets there;
who knows not only what she wants from life
but what she has to offer in return...
HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
who is loyal to family and friends,
who expects no more from others
than she is willing to give;
HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
who guides and inspires
not by quoting others philosophies but by living her own good example;
who accepts both victories and disappointments with the same grace,
and who can rise above life's challenges and move on...
HERE'S TO THE WOMAN
who gives the gifts of her thoughtfulness,
who shows her caring with a word of support,
her understanding with a smile;
a woman who brings joy to others
just by being herself...
Celebrate the joy and power of being a Woman...

The Quran does not mandate women wearing the veil. The only oppressive form of veiling is when it is legally mandated, not religiously. March against legal systems, not the veil itself.
