On March 8th, women’s protests erupted globally. Notably, coordinated struggles for the release of Cilia—a prominent anti-imperialist fighter and a central figure in the Venezuelan resistance—took place in Santiago, Brussels and Seoul, South Korea.
The historical foundation of March 8th is rooted in the 1917 Russian Revolution. Women workers in Petrograd launched strikes and demonstrations demanding “Bread and Peace,” serving as the spark that ignited the February Revolution.
Throughout history, International Working Women’s Day has evolved in tandem with the labor movement, anti-war resistance, and struggles for colonial liberation.
Today’s March 8th is not merely a day to commemorate “gender equality”; it is a day of political struggle, demanding women’s liberation from the structures of imperialism, war, and exploitation.
Our struggle will continue until the end to imperialism and to finally achieve the genuine social liberation of women.
