Produced by Les Productions Virage in coproduction with the National Film Board of Canada with the financial participation of Québec : Crédit d'impôt cinéma et télévision - Gestion SODEC; the Canadian Television Fund created by the Government of Canada and the Canadian Cable Industry, CTF : License Fee Program; Astral Media, The Harold Greenberg Fund; SODEC Société de développement des entreprises culturelles - Québec; and Canada : The Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit; with the collaboration of Télé Québec, The Government of Canada through The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and TV5 Le monde en français.

Between March and October 2000, millions of people around the world took to the streets to denounce poverty and violence against women. The historic World March of Women was a bold initiative of the Québec Federation of Women and represented a turning point in global solidarity.

Director Sophie Bissonnette invited five filmmakers from around the world to cover the march. She also asked each one to film an innovative project. In Senegal a community battles female genital mutilation through education. In Australia a women's circus teaches survivors of sexual assault to become skilled performers. In India a group of low-caste women mediate domestic disputes in informal women's courts. Native women in Ecuador offer leadership training programs to create women leaders. In the United States, Linda Carney describes why she founded Survival Inc. for poor women in Boston: this wealthy city refused her and her son welfare benefits unless she quit her minimum-wage job.

Set against the backdrop of a song, A Score for Women's Voices ends at the UN, where women deliver 5 million cards signed during the marches. Their goal? To change the world!

Some subtitles.
