On 12th October, join Women in Black London for a special vigil in solidarity with women in Afghanistan, where they will wear green instead of black (a colour used by women's rights activists in Afghanistan).
Find out about why these vigils and events are taking place here.
Time and place: Wednesday 12th October from 6pm to 7pm at the Edith Cavell statue above St Martin in the Fields church (opposite the entrance to the National Portrait Gallery).
About Women in Black London Vigils:
The London vigil is part of the Women in Black (WiB) world-wide network of women. They are committed to peace with justice and actively opposed to injustice, war, militarism and other forms of violence. They hold a vigil every week in silence and wearing black. Each vigil has a specific theme, which is reflected in the placards they carry and the leaflets they hand out. Each week they have a letter which they ask members of the public to sign, which calls on the British government to take action on a specific issue. Vigils are for women only, and present a women's or gendered position on each issue.
