Solidarity for justice
Saturday will mark 100 days of the Occupy Baluwatar movement. Although it began as a campaign demanding justice for a female migrant worker who was robbed and raped by immigration officials, the movement has now snowballed into a larger platform calling on the government to put an end to gender violence and impunity. Despite continuous pressure, victims still await justice.
Join Occupy Baluwatar to spread the message that tolerating violence breeds further violence.
Baluwatar, 6 April, Saturday, 9am
