Fembloc presenta en Bruxelas > RESISTERHOOD FOR GLOBAL REVOLUTION

Women change the world.

Ahead of Inter­na­ti­o­nal Women’s Day, the Left is orga­ni­sing its annual Femi­nist Forum at the Euro­pean Parli­a­ment, ASP 1G2.

In the midst of the worst cost of living crisis in deca­des and with worrying levels of violence against women, we ask what’s next for the “resis­ter­hood”?

Left MEPs Malin Björk (Swedish Left Party), Elena Koun­toura (Syriza) and María Euge­nia Rodrí­guez Palop (Pode­mos) will be joined by special guests to discuss how free­dom from patri­ar­chy can help end violence against women and fight exploi­ta­tion and female poverty.
