Rights groups have called on women in France to down tools on Friday, 8 March – International Women’s Day – for a strike to mark the importance of women’s labour both at work and at home. For the first time, trade unions have joined the call for what organisers hope will be France’s largest ever such strike.
“When women stop, everything stops,” reads the call to action from the SUD/Solidaire union, calling for women to walk off the job, even if they're at home.
