Looking Back, Moving Forward with the Women's March

Victoria Women’s March Returns: Look Back, March Forward

by Womens March Canada

January 20, 2018

Last year, thousands gathered in Centennial Square and marched in support of women’s rights and equality. On January 20th, 2018 the Victoria Women’s March returns with the theme “Look back, March forward” to celebrate the progress we have made and demand the changes that are still necessary to ensure equality, representation, safety, health and economic security for all women.

The Victoria March is a sister march to the now 29 marches planned across Canada, as part of Women’s March Canada.

Women’s March Canada focuses specifically on issues pertaining to Canadian women and minorities, issues of intersectional discriminations, as well as policies and laws that are still not inclusive or progressive enough.

This year’s global event is a follow up to last year’s global march event on January 21st, 2017 that included people of all backgrounds -- women and men and gender nonconforming people, young and old, of diverse faiths, differently abled, immigrants and indigenous -- who came together, five million strong, on all seven continents of the world.

The march on January 20th, 2018 will begin at 11:00 am at Centennial Square. 

This year will highlight speakers from organizations who are advocating for and supporting regional women’s issues with their voices their goals.

At 11:45 am the march will head down Government Street toward the Parliament building.

The march will end at approximately 1:00 pm at the Parliament buildings.

We hope to see you at the march! To RSVP for the event and for more information go to:
