On March 8th, International Women's Day, following a 9 km end-of-winter walk
through leafless vineyards near the medieval village of Les Matelles, four
members of AWG-LR were joined on a bridge by 4 members of BCA and FOAL.
There were pink shirts, pink pants, pink back-packs, pink socks,
and even pink undies, all part of the group's participation in the Join Me on the
Bridge campaign.
The campaign started in 2010 when women from the
neighboring warring countries of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo
came together in a plea for peace on a crossing between the two countries.
Since then, each year on March 8th, on real or virtual bridges, people around the world stand in solidarity with all women touched by war.
