PHOTO ESSAY
MARCH FOR LIFE
HAMILTON 2021
OVER FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE GOT TOGETHER ON MARCH 14 IN A JOYFUL GATHERING TO CELEBRATE LIFE, TO REMEMBER THE THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST TO ABORTION EACH YEAR IN AOTEAROA AND RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS. The day began at Memorial Park with family-friendly festivities including live music, face painting, candy floss, and a sausage sizzle. There was also a line of stallholders from different organisations which offer support to women and families facing unplanned pregnancies. Then we all peacefully and joyfully marched across Claudelands Bridge into the centre of Hamilton where we gathered at Victoria on the River to hear from speakers who boldly shared the truth about our nation’s lack of care for our women who are hapū with the next generation. The Waikato March for Life organising committee would like to thank all who came to be a voice for the voiceless.
Families gathered at the festival ready to march with their signs. 11
