The pro-Palestine civil society group Mothers for Gaza is organising an event titled “Women Rising in the Face of Genocide” to commemorate International Women’s Day on 8 March 2026.
Pro-Palestine activist Megan Chortiz told VOC News that the event will feature poetry and speakers from conflict-affected regions, including Congo, Sudan and Palestine, who will share their experiences.
“They will highlight women standing up against genocide and what this type of solidarity looks like in today’s context,” explained Chortiz.
The venue for the event has yet to be confirmed. VOC News will provide updates as more information becomes available.
