We are asking for your participation In Equal Parenting Week. This Year from September 23, 2002 to September 29th, 2002 we will be holding Equal Parents Week. Our Organization The New Brunswick Childrens Equal Parenting Association in conjunction with our international affiliate The Childrens Rights Council of Washington, DC will once again invite and unite the voices around the world in Joining in Equal Parents Week. Last year we held here in Saint John along with our Mayor also in 25 states, 9 Provinces and 6 countries joined in sending the message of Equal Parents week throughout the world! We would like to extend this offer to you on Wednesday September 25th at 7:30 Pm here in Saint John.

 

            WHAT IS EQUAL PARENTS' WEEK?

Equal Parents' Week is a movement, which sends the message that both parents must share parental rights and responsibilities equally. The purple ribbon is the symbol, which sends this message. People are urged to send this message by wearing purple ribbons and tying them everywhere they can be seen. 

Equal Parents' Week advocates that the right of both parents to function as a parent, the right of children to be raised and nurtured by both parents, and the right of families to exist and function as a family. These are constitutional and human rights inherent and inalienable to all families. The Equal Parents' Week mandate for equal parent status is a mandate for the time it takes to love, nurture, and teach our children our values the only way we can...a mandate for the ability to be a parent...and a mandate for justice.  

 

This year, Equal Parent's Week ("EPW") takes place September 23, 2002 through September 29, 2002.  The New Brunswick Childrens Equal Parenting Association with the CRC is soliciting participation in EPW to create an international movement that will unite the voices of people all over the world to raise public awareness and achieve legislative reform to promote joint custody and shared parenting, and address injustices that affect parents, children and family members everywhere.  Although the simple act of tying a purple ribbon may seem insignificant, the power of our message and the power of this message being sent by purple ribbons all over the world will reach people everywhere. If every family member throughout the world who cherishes their love for their family unites their voices in sending this message, we will send a message so powerful it cannot be ignored.
