"The march and rally are taking place on Sunday 4th March 2018. The event is in partnership with the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and a range of charity partners, including Muslim Women’s Network, White Ribbon Campaign, Fawcett Society, UNISON and more. This year’s #March4Women coincides with the centenary of the Representation of the People Act, that extended the right to vote to the first women in the UK. We will mark this once-in-a-generation historic moment with a mass march from Parliament Square, to finish with a vibrant rally with music in Trafalgar Square, in celebration of those who have fought, and continue to fight for equal rights; and to call out for action on the shocking inequalities and abuses that still remain worldwide. " I'm honoured and excited to be asked to speak at Trafalgar Square ... Courage is a muscle ... Pessimism is for lightweights!
