description:
We have five months to organise a national wide strike of women across the UK and beyond. The Women’s Assembly (LND) is open to all women, non-binary people and allies of all genders.
The Women’s Strike is about more than just the withdrawal of our paid labour or work – it is also about recognising that women take on a disproportionate amount of unpaid work in the form of cooking, cleaning, caring and other tasks which contribute to the day to day functioning of society. Women’s labour is exploited in multiple ways and a women’s strike is about building the counter-power to fight back against the multitude of issues facing women, non-binary and femme people.
You can learn more about last year’s strike and the demands here: https://www.womenstrikeus.org/
We are open to people of any gender attending the meeting but the strike will led by and prioritise the voices of women and non-binary people. We are trans and sex worker inclusive. We respectfully suggest that men avoid dominating discussion and that they also volunteer for tasks which are traditionally done by women e.g. cooking, cleaning, care.
The event will be kid friendly - we will organise care and food for everyone
