  • Story Text: Brazilians have marked International Women's Day with
    an anti-war march through the streets of Rio de Janeiro.



    Some 500 Brazilians protested against possible war
    with Iraq during a march along Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana
    Beach on Saturday (March 08) to the beats of samba during a
    demonstration to mark International Women's Day.

    This year's International Women's Day march turned into a
    demonstration to call for peace and to protest against a
    U.S.-led war against Iraq "Today, women join this international
    fight for peace, but we want to give an expanded meaning to
    peace, not just against this war," Jandira Fegalhe, a delegate
    for the Workers Party, said.

    The Brazilian government have sided with Germany and
    France in their stance against the war, preferring to give
    more time for a diplomatic solution.
