Wednesday, March 8, 2017, Madrid. In August 1910, at an International Women’s Conference organized by the 2nd International Socialist in Denmark, is that two women, Luise Zietz and Clara Zetkin, inspired by the actions of the United States Socialists propose the establishment of the International Women’s Day.
In recent years women have been facing not only the galloping dangers of gender violence but also the alarming economic vulnerability that global neoliberalism has generated. Unemployment, low wages, pensions of poverty and poverty have reached unbearable levels.
Today, March 8, International Women’s Day, Europe Peace Foundation supports the international strike against gender-based violence and in defense of reproductive rights, in which women from all countries have joined.
Let’s celebrate the vindication of women’s history of struggle, their achievements and the battles they still have to win!
