International Women’s Day 1991 (Toronto) – From Oka to the Gulf!

"Oka to the Gulf. Make the links" is the theme of this button for the 1991 International Women's Day March and Rally in Toronto. It refers to the Gulf War of 1990-91 and to the struggle for Indigenous rights in Oka, Quebec in 1990. It highlights the role of the military and connects militarism, colonialism and imperialism here at home and internationally.

This button with the slogan, “From Oka to the Gulf!” was created for the 1991 International Women’s Day March in reference to the 1990-91 Gulf War and the Kanesatake Resistance in Oka in 1990—connecting international issues of militarism, colonialism, and imperialism with local struggles.
