On 8 March 2000 & 2001, women and girls in over 60 countries,
in villages and cities, went on strike to
STOP THE WORLD & CHANGE IT.
Payday Men's Network co-ordinated men's support.

WOMEN & GIRLS DO 2/3 OF THE WORLD'S WORK FOR 5% OF THE INCOME.
MOST OF THIS WORK IS UNWAGED.

Women do the work of giving birth to, feeding and caring for the
whole world. Those in whom we have invested our lives are
slaughtered as ?collateral damage? or turned into killing
machines. And so we have been central to every anti-war
movement. It is a disaster that only half the human race is
trained to care and the other half told it has ?more important
things to do?.

As corporate power and its wars threaten every corner of all our
lives, people everywhere have formed massive movements - to
reclaim our land and our planet, and to stop the theft (via
privatisation) of water, seeds, genes . . . The Global Women's
Strike, women's independent voice in this great movement,
reclaims military spending for caring, feeding, healing,
learning.
