For a World With Equality Against Forced Displacement, Religious Fundamentalism and Neo-Fascism

To honour and celebrate 2019 International Women’s Day, Life Stories Quilt podcast created a small Audio Quilt for March 8, asking different people about the importance of International Women’s Day in their opinion!

Most of the recording happened at the Women of Diverse Origins Conference on March 2nd, 2019 in Montreal.

Song that accompanied this Quilt is called; “The March of the Women”, by Ethel Mary Smyth. She was an English composer and a member of the Suffragettes movement.

Part of the lyric:

“Shout, shout, up with your song!
Cry with the wind, for the dawn is breaking;
March, march, swing you along,
Wind blows our banner, and hope is waking.
Song with its story, dreams with their glory”
