Women In Black

Women In Black New York stand in silent vigil to protest war, rape as a tool of war, ethnic cleansing and human rights abuses all over the world. They are silent because mere words cannot express the tragedy that wars and hatred bring. Their silence is visible. They wear black as a symbol of sorrow for all the victims of war, for the destruction of people, nature and the fabric of life.

They stand in silent vigil in front of the New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 41st every Wednesday, 5:30-6:30p.m.
