Women against the 1981 tour

Women's groups were prominent in the widespread protests against the 1981 Springbok tour of New Zealand. This poster, produced by Women Against the Tour, announces a march from Christchurch's Merivale Mall to Cathedral Square, to take place on 1 May 1981. That date was the second National Day of Action against the tour, organised nationally by Halt All Racist Tours (HART) to co-ordinate the efforts of numerous smaller and local protest groups.
