DESCRIPTION:We march to support this call by people in the Iranian women’s movement:  
 If you are against death by stoning!  If you are against forced veiling!  
 If you are against prosecution and imprisonment of women!  If you are 
 against lashing a woman’s body!  If you are against any form of male 
 chauvinism!  If you are against all unequal medieval laws of the Islamic 
 Republic of Iran against women!  Join the great walk of women against 
 anti-woman laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran on March 8, 2006!  We're 
 calling on women all over the bay to rally in solidarity with the women of 
 Iran.  Now is the time to make our anger public. Silence and passivity are 
 not an option.  No to Theocracy - Oppose the anti-woman laws of Iran AND 
 Bush’s anti-woman McCrusade!  Support the Right to Abortion and Birth 
 Control!  No to US Imperialism/ No US Attacks on Iran!  Unleash the Fury of 
 Women as a Mighty Force for Revolution!     from the call for the March 8 
 European Walk:  It has been more than 25 years of the ruling of one of the 
 most anti-woman governments in the world. A government which its 
 fundamental existence has been based upon its laws of oppression and 
 domination of women.  It has been more than 25 years of struggle and 
 resistance for women against poverty and injustice in all political, 
 cultural and economical aspects of society.  Women have endured being 
 lashed, stoned, jailed, tortured and executed, but they did not surrender 
 to the medieval laws of Islamic Republic.  March 8th of this year is a time 
 to once again show our solidarity with the women’s struggle in Iran. We 
 should turn this day into a day of exciting and magnificent exhibition of 
 solidarity against the anti- woman Islamic Republic system.  We, the women 
 of "Campaign for Abolition of all Misogynist Gender Based legislation & 
 Islamic Punitive Laws in Iran", in observation of International Women’s 
 Day, are organizing a great walk from Germany to Holland, concluding at the 
 International Court of The Hague.  In this rally:  There is a place for any 
 woman, who has been shaken by the brutality of stoning of her sisters in 
 Iran.  There is a place for any woman, who has felt the bitterness of being 
 lashed against the right of her choice of clothes.  There is a place for 
 any woman, who won’t surrender to inferiority and inequality.  There is a 
 place for any woman, who fights for the right of her body.  There is a 
 place for any woman, who is struggling for her own destiny.  There is a 
 place for any woman who wants the right to divorce, the right to travel, 
 the right of choice, the right of custody and all other basic human rights. 
  There is a place for any woman, who is not willing to submit her destiny 
 to the medieval laws of the Islamic Republic.  There is a place for any 
 woman who wants to abolish the role of religion in all facets of society, 
 in particular in the lives of women.  In this rally, there is a place for 
 all freedom loving women and men, all political and progressive and 
 revolutionary forces, who want equality amongst men and women in all 
 aspects of life, and oppose any type of gender discrimination.  Freedom 
 loving men and women!  Your active participation in this walk will 
 resonance the voice of the just struggle of Iranian women so it can be 
 heard all over the world, and can mobilize the international women’s 
 movement against world Imperialism which is the protector of male 
 chauvinism in every corner of this world.  Let, by joining in solidarity 
 with struggle of Iranian people, this medieval regime forever be buried in 
 its grave.  Let the women’s needs and demands become the shining jewel of 
 these struggles, since the degree of progress and freedom in any society is 
 measured by the progress and liberty of women in that society.  Campaign 
 for Abolition of all Misogynist Gender Based legislation & Islamic Punitive 
 Laws in Iran  zan_dem_iran@hotmail.com  http://www.karzar-zanan.com\n
