On 14/15 November, Women of Colour Global Women’s Strike
are co-hosting an international women’s conference: ‘Caring, Survival and Justice vs. The
Tyranny of the Market’. We are very pleased to be welcoming
women of colour speakers from Haiti, India,
Palestine, Peru, Norway, Scotland, Canada and the
US, and they will be available for interview.
See below for further details. The conference comes in the midst
of an explosion of activism and organising against
the sexism and racism of austerity, poverty, prisons, detention and
deportation, deaths in custody, war, environmental devastation, and for our
right to survival, justice and resources. We bring together distinguished
grassroots activists from the Global South and North, fighting on the local,
national and international level. Speakers will make visible all the justice
work women do, during war and occupation, against bonded labour
and rape, for the rights of domestic workers, prisoners and more. Campaigners
from a variety of movements will speak. The conference will highlight the
undervalued, unrecognised caring work that women
across the world do. We will also make the case for an economy and a society
which invests in caring not killing, and launch our Petition to all governments
for: A
living wage for mothers & other carers.
