Hi John,
Today, 8 March, marks International Women’s Day. While often now presented as a day of celebration by everyone from big corporations to governments, International Women’s Day was originally set up more than a century ago as a day of protest and campaigning.

It was officially born in August 1910, when German socialist feminists Luise Zietz and Clara Zetkin brought forward a motion at the second International Conference of Socialist Working Women to mark an International Women’s Day. Feminist struggles the world over led by working-class and women of colour like Sojourner Truth, Clara Lemlich and Alicia Moreau de Justo informed and built momentum for this day to be born.

The radical roots of International Women’s Day lie in demands for the social, economic and political liberation of women through both female suffrage and the abolition of capitalism for a socialist economy – pushing for women’s liberation from both waged and domestic servitude.

In this vein, we wanted to highlight just some of the feminist activism and struggles women and non-binary people have engaged in over the last year globally. From Argentina to Palestine, India to Ghana, these women give us courage to build momentum and continue organising today.

PS. Tomorrow we’ll be joining the national demonstration for a ceasefire in Gaza in central London. Assemble at 12 noon at Hyde Park Corner, marching to the US embassy in Battersea.
