Hundredth anniversary of International Women’s Day

A century of struggle

At its very beginning, in the early 20th century, International Women’s Day – the 8th of March - was a day of struggle for working women. Nowadays it has largely been hijacked by the capitalist establishment as a ceremonial and sometimes highly commercial affair.

Indeed, in the past years many earlier conquests for women have been lost as a result of the crisis of capitalism.

Bin the Public Assemblies Bill

Defend the Right to Protest

Sinn Fein and the DUP have launched a major attack on democratic rights by drafting legislation which will make public protest a criminal offence. The Draft Public Assemblies Bill, proposed by the ‘Working group on parades’ will place major restrictions on the right to protest.

It will mean all protests of 50 or more people will be illegal, unless protest organisers have applied for permission from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) 37 days beforehand or 22 days if organising a counter-demonstration.
