In over 170 countries, millions went onto the streets for the International Working Women\u2019s Day. Despite the bourgeois propaganda, it was not a \u201ccelebration\u201d day nor anything like that. It was a day of struggle, demonstrations and strikes.<\/em>
\nBy Editorial Team.<\/strong>
\n 
\nThere were strikes in several workplaces, responding to the international women\u2019s strike, in addition to the major demonstrations.
\nThe protests had two high points: the Spanish State (over 4 million people) and Argentina (over 70 thousand participated in the demo). In Italy, transportation stopped. In Montevideo (Uruguay) there were 300.000 demonstrators. In Asunci\u00f3n (Paraguay), another 6 thousand. But there were also demos in countries under theocratic dictatorships, like Iran and Saudi Arabia \u2013 expressing the movement strength.
\nThe reason for this explosion of discontent, related to the outrage against capitalist governments and their attacks to the working class, lies on the intensification of the international financial crisis and its political reflexions in each country.
\nTogether with the crisis, oppression also increases \u2013 as a mechanism of the bourgeoisie to divide and exploit the class even more \u2013 together with male-chauvinist violence. The numbers are horrifying: one in three women suffered physical or sexual violence, and there is a femicide every 10 minutes.
\nImmigrant, refugees and poor women are the most vulnerable. And, to this, we need to add the killing of trans women, usually not considered by official statistics.
\nTo sum up, March 8 was a day of struggle, outrage, collective protest. We post here a brief, incomplete summary of the demos.<\/p>\n
