Background

10th October 2009 hundreds of women, children and men take to the streets of Edinburgh to pay tribute to the women in Scotland who campaigned to obtain women’s right to vote and celebrate 100 years of women’s activism as they re-enact the original procession.

Join us on this special day that will deliver a history lesson on the streets of Edinburgh.  The day will provide an energising focus and raise the profile of women’s activism as it demonstrates the power of women’s contribution to society, culture and all aspects of public and private life in 21st Century Scotland.
