Care International
#March4Women 2018
The Approach
The Bulb produced CARE International’s largest ever march for gender equality, finishing with a free concert in Trafalgar Square, which was attended by thousands.
Either we fight for all or we all fall. I know today I am looking at fighters – fighters who are all saying ‘times up!” And that’s why we still march!
