The Banner Project (1990): CARAL

The CARAL banner highlights the National Day of Action on October 13,1990, and the slogan "Don't Criminalise Abortion in Canada." Women's groups across Canada were asked to produce a protest banner that would become part of a huge banner in Ottawa. The goal was to show the strength and solidarity of women during the Third Commonwealth meeting of Ministers Responsible for Women’s Affairs in October 1990.
