Join us in Fredericton on Friday, October 17, 2025 as we bring back the energy of the historic 2000 World March of Women, when over 130 New Brunswick women filled three buses to New York to demand pay equity and an end to gender-based violence.
Twenty-five years later, we’re hitting the streets again — to celebrate our progress and keep the fight for equity alive!
