International Women’s Strike

The International Women's Strike is a global movement where women and allies unite to advocate for gender equality and women's rights. It typically involves protests, demonstrations, and strikes on International Women's Day, March 8, to highlight issues like wage disparity, reproductive rights, violence against women, and systemic discrimination. Participants emphasize the importance of women's contributions to society and demand social, economic, and political changes. The strike aims to raise awareness, foster solidarity among women, and encourage policymakers to address gender inequalities effectively.
