Today marks the anniversary of Mar 12, 1959. On that day, following the massacre that happened over the previous days of uprising in Lhasa, Tibet when people took to the streets to protest against the Chinese occupation of Tibet, thousands of women gathered in front of the Potala Palace in Lhasa. This demonstration sparked the Tibetan women’s movement for independence.
