“Join Me on the Bridge” campaign started in 2010 when women from the Congo and Rwanda joined together on the bridge joining their two countries, showing they could build the bridges of peace and peace for the future. This action sparked a massive global movement, and last year they were joined by thousands of people on hundreds of bridges worldwide. On International Women’s Day, March 8, thousands of people will show they are with the women in war-torn countries.
