Do we still need International Women's Day (IWD)?
Just listen to the government and Alan Sugar.

On Saturday 12 March 2011, women in a number of countries will mark the Centenary of IWD with a MOTHERS MARCH, to defend Everyone's survival and welfare and calling for an End to cuts, poverty and discrimination.

Where Marches are being held:

It is North and it is South

The Global Women’s strike

The Mothers’ march

March twelve, twenty one-one
 

This is not a poem: it is a salute

to the world’s Women and the Mothers among them.

In my native Guyana I would be in their ranks

With a few other men

Like the manly Payday Brothers of Ingland “the Bitch”

That once saw a strong woman as a witch.
