Broad Meadows Students in a Global March Martin Luther King, Jr. asked Americans to march for justice, especially for the poor. They marched with youth from all over the world in The Global March, created by India s Kailash Satiyarthi. The goal of the marching is to publically pressure the International Labor Organization to write new, tougher, international child labor laws. Those new standards were written in Geneva in 1998. Girls are often scattered across a country as domestic servants.
Girls are less visible, but suffer as much as boys.
Girls are often raped, too. Our partner in the Global March is the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights. Details are in the media area of this site. In July of 1998, we were invited to Washington, DC, to testify at a Congressional Roundtable on Youth Activism. In September of 1998, we were invited to lecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in their monthly Askwith lecture series.
