Should we really be pissing off guys? - Yes.

Women across Europe and Asia shouted their demands for equality, respect, and empowerment today to mark International Women's Day.

Stop modern slavery of women and kids!

Spanish women were staging dozens of protests across the country against the wage gap and gender violence.

In Madrid, a massive demonstration was planned for the evening. In Barcelona, protesters who disrupted traffic into the city center were pushed back by riot police.
 

In some countries, protests were more muted, however. [Women made it out to the street in a rare public demonstration in war-torn, US-destroyed, formerly Buddhist Afghanistan.]

International Women's Day is a public holiday in Russia, but opposition presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak was one of the few demonstrators in Moscow. More

Speakers include community leaders, activists, Dolores Huerta, and more. We -- females joined by male allies -- are on strike for:

• labor rights
• living wage for all including mothers and other caregivers
• full social services
• environmental justice
• an anti-racist anti-imperialist feminism...

Why are they mad at me? I love the ladies!

Let's strike against: sexual abuse, domestic and state (military) violence, poverty, discrimination, criminalization of survival, environmental devastation, and war.
 
All are welcome! WEAR PURPLE! Bring signs, banners, noise-makers! Unify for a caring society. This is feminism of the 99%. More
