For the small, the tall, the heavy, the thin, the disabled, the feminists, the anarchists, the loudmouths, the shy ones, the artists, the scientists, the intellectuals, the manual workers, the transgender, the straight, the lesbians, the bisexuals - or whatever... This International Women's Rights Day is for all of you, and we want to share our favorite ways to celebrate the 8th of March in excitement and advocacy.
#FeministStrike calls for a strike from work, domestic tasks, and consumption. A day of solidarity with women around the world, those facing mass bombings, those victims of sexist and sexual violence, those responsible for feeding their families, those experiencing wage inequality, those who are isolated, those fighting for equality... In short, on March 8th, we all come together to march in the streets!
