On March 8th, International Day of Feminist Resistance, we took to the streets once again to show collective strength and to say no to patriarchal violence—a violence that manifests in various forms of abuse, discrimination, and dominance, yet affects us all.
From the earliest reports of demonstrations for women’s equality in 1909 in New York City, to the day when labor movements in Europe and North America brought female textile workers to the streets to demand political change, an end to food shortages, and better living conditions: we all stand on the streets today, fighting for a universally accepted and internalized intersectional feminism.
The street remains an important place of resistance, and we will not let it be taken from us.
We were happy to be loud and militant alongside so many others. We were especially pleased to be present on the front lines together with our friends* from Red Edition – Migrant Sex Workers’ Group and to highlight the importance of an overarching and intersectional feminism for everyone—from care workers to sex workers. Therefore, we were proud to have the opportunity to give a speech on migrant sex work.
