Thousands of concerts, festivals, forums, and demonstrations are planned to coincide with the march worldwide. Rafael de la Rubia, founder of Mundo sin Guerres and the international spokesperson for the World March says “We chose New Zealand because it is the first country to grant women the right to vote, to legally ban nuclear weapons, and the first and only country to establish a Minister for Disarmament, so we are pleased at the recognition now given to New Zealand by the Global Peace Index.” See World Peace March to start from most peaceful nation on earth!
