The Women’s Global Strike was launched in 2020 and endorsed by over 198 organizations and movements across 60 countries. The global campaign calls on women everywhere to stop/slow down formal work and/or care work, and take action to demand women’s rights, to show the world that, if women stop, the world stops.
Women Global Strike 2020
Despite the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Strike connected a diverse range of struggles around women’s economic, social, and cultural rights: women trade unionists, Indigenous, peasant, and fisherfolk communities defending their lands, activists promoting climate justice, and many other women worldwide mobilized.
Women's Global Strike 2021
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, amid the inequalities intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses often captured by corporate interests and political elites, women across the world are demanding economic alternatives that center the integrity of peoples and planet, ensure gender justice and advance a new social pact on care. We believe the Covid-19 pandemic must serve as a catalyst for rethinking our public policies in line with human rights. We demand systemic change and we want it now!
