Revolution #195, March 14, 2010
International Women's Day, 2010
Chicago
People marched through the upscale downtown Miracle Mile area full of shoppers and tourists. The marchers stopped at places symbolizing women’s oppression, like a Victoria’s Secret store, and also to support the work of a rape crisis center. Among the people speaking out were a Latina describing growing up in a macho household and a retired teacher from India who told of her experience with Hinduism and said that all religions oppressed women.
