'Standing Women' Comes To Marblehead

MARBLEHEAD, MA – People will gather at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Glabicky Park in Marblehead in honor of Standing Women: A movement that dedicates five minutes of silence to a vision for families worldwide.

Here is Standing Women's declaration of standing:

We are standing for the world’s children and grandchildren, and for the seven generations to come.
We dream of a world where all of our children have safe drinking water, clean air to breathe, and enough food to eat.
A world where they have access to a basic education to develop their minds and healthcare to nurture their growing bodies.
A world where they have a warm, safe and loving place to call home.
A world where they don’t live in fear of violence – in their homes, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, or in their world.
This is the world of which we dream.
This is the cause for which we stand.
