For International Women’s Day, a rally organized by Kawartha World Issues Centre and Kawartha Sexual Assault Centre had roughly 60 people march from Peterborough Square to City Hall on Wednesday.

During the march, signs were held up with statements such as, “Trans women are women,” “On Wednesday, we smash the patriarchy,” and “Feminism = Equity.”
City Councillor Joy Lachica read Jeff Leal’s proclamation of International Women’s Day announced earlier in the day and roused the crowd to celebrate the fight for equity.
