A HOST of renowned local female artists will frontline the Fiji Women’s Rights Movements’ (FWRM) “If Women Stop, the World Stops” concert that will be held at Ratu Sukuna Park in Suva next week.
FWRM executive director Nalini Singh said the concert would feature renowned artists such as ‘Vude Queen’ Laisa Vulakoro, Georgina Ledua, Aggie Vakaloloma and Natalie Raikadroka to celebrate International Women’s Day.
“We are organising the second such concert, in solidarity with the Women’s Global Strike, which is our symbolic strike action calling for women to stop or slow down their formal or care work and demand the recognition of women’s rights,” she said.
“This is an open event and will also feature speakers from various women’s organisations.”
Ms Singh said a highlight to this year’s event would be the launching of the PiF-M – a pilot feminist mentoring program for mid-career level women.
“Six women will have the opportunity to be mentored by FWRM co-founder, board member and women’s rights activist Imrana Jalal to support and help them in their careers over a one-year period.”
The “If Women Stop, the World Stops” concert will be held on Monday, March 8, 2021 from 10.30am to 4pm.
