It has open call for events coordinators (from Oct. to Feb.), and launches its first list of confirmed participating countries around November 25th to commemorate the International Day of Non-Violence Against Women. The list of participant countries is constantly updated until February each year.

  Woman Scream goal:



  Our mission is to honor women and create a conscious call against women violence through artistic expressions during the whole month of March.

People interested in coordinating a WS event in their communities, just need to request and follow some simple guidelines, and make an event any day between 1st to 31st of march (For obvious reasons, no events out of date are allowed).   Additional artists such as: Painters, musicians, performance, actors, dancers, etc, can join freely, as long as their presentations doesn't attend against morality or affects our movement's public image. Always remember our goal is to honor women and their importance into society.
