Consultation Day
Consultation Day was held at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. What a gorgeous facility! Maria Jose, Sonja, Britt and I arrived early to help Allison and Megan save seats for the large contingent of Zontians. More than 30 Zontians filled more than two rows to get motivated about where we have come since Beijing, and how we will achieve Gender Equality in our lifetime.
International Womens Day March for Gender Equality to Times Square
After the last inspiring panel of the next generation working on equal rights, we disbanded to make our way the subways to go to Times Square for the March for Women's rights, organized by UN Women to celebrate International Women's Day. The subway cars will filled with NGO delegates with "I am 20" fans. (refering to Beijing +20) Arriving at times square our group was just in time to meet the marchers walking from the UN Plaza. We proudly displayed the Zonta banner, and listened to some short speeches about the progress made, and the work still to be done for women's rights around the world.
