HLPF 2019: Feminists Speak out on Women’s Labor Rights at United Nations High Level Political Forum

“Feminist organisations and allies from around the world have launched a campaign calling for a ‘Women’s Global Strike’ on 8 March 2020. The promises made by our governments to advance equality, development and peace for all women 25 years ago in Beijing have not been kept. We have chosen International Women’s Day to go a strike since historically on this day, women over generations have risen up and protested, putting their lives at risk to defend civil rights and fundamental freedoms. We want to reclaim the day and revive women’s collective power to demand our human rights”.
