The demonstration is set to finish on on rue Sherbrooke O. around 4 p.m.


This event is worldwide and eleven other marches are planned throughout Quebec to fight "AGAINST violence! AGAINST poverty! FOR climate and social justice! FOR the rights of Indigenous peoples, migrant, immigrant and racialized women! Until all women are free, we will be on the march," it says on the event description on Facebook.

For its 20th edition, solidarity with Indigenous women is being honoured, so Quebecers are invited to wear red to support their demands.

In Montreal, 890 people answered the Facebook event at the time of writing this article. The "World March for Women" hopes to the government of the demands regarding poverty, violence against women, but also the issues of climate justice concerning migrant and racialized women.
