This year's March 8th brought many women, revolutionaries and activists to the streets. In several countries there was a significant increase of actions on International Women's Day, despite restrictions due to various Covid measures.
It is clear that the deepening of the general crisis of capitalism is to be passed on to the working class, the masses and especially to women. In response to the attempts of the bourgeoisie to mobilize women as a reserve of reaction, communists and revolutionaries held up the red March 8! This year was the 100th anniversary of this important international day of struggle. Red women and struggling women proved a hundred years ago, when they demonstrated in the midst of the Spanish flu pandemic, as well as today, that it is more than justified to take to the streets, to resist and to struggle for the interests of the exploited and oppressed!
Long live the red March 8! Long live the international women's struggle day!
