The Netherlands is one of the only countries in the EU that does not observe (mark it as a public holiday) Labour Day. That being said, there are still several events going on in the city to celebrate and they are worth checking out! Worker rights are worth fighting for!

Femicide is not a “tragic incident”. It is calculated gender-based violence that can be prevented.
And we demand that it is treated as such.
We want the Dutch government and municipalities to
invest in prevention, treat femicide as an urgent crime category and take early signs of abuse seriously.

If you or anyone you know is facing abuse, the following links list organisations and useful websites that provide immediate relief and assistance services:

January 27th marks the liberation of Auschwitz and International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We remember the people murdered and honor the survivors. In addition, remembrance is not passive - it is also a responsibility. Never again means actively opposing hatred, racism, and genocide wherever it still exists today.
