INVEST IN CARING NOT KILLING!

International network for recognition & payment for all caring work, and the return of military spending to the community starting with women the main carers everywhere. Women & girls do 2/3 of the world's work, most of it unwaged. +$1 trillion/year is spent on the military worldwide, more than half by the US. 10% of this would provide the essentials of life for all: water, sanitation, basic healt

h, nutrition, literacy, and a minimum income. The Global Women's Strike is a grassroots network with national co-ordinations in a number of countries. Invest in caring not killing is our strategy for change. We campaign for the return of military budgets to the community, beginning with women the main caregivers in every country of people and the planet. Women, and men who support our goals, take action together on 8 March, International Women’s Day, and throughout the year. We work to ensure that power relations among us are addressed, and that each of our struggles is backed by our collective power. Women from different sectors are involved: women of color, Indigenous & rural women, mothers, women in waged work, le***an, bis*xual women & TT women, s*x workers, religious activists, women with disabilities, older & younger women...

"I don't know how these people sleep at night taking these kids from these mothers.... I don't care what their parents do or are into or whatever, the kids love them. And these kids are being messed up by putting them in the foster care system, put on drugs, and now they can't function." - Carolyn, Give Us Back Our Children

Domestic workers have to leave their own children to care for the children and families of others at low pay. And many face ICE terrorizing our communities: thousands of children are being held in ICE detention centers. More than 100,000 separated from families. Child welfare” agencies work with immigration authorities to place children into foster care or up for adoption. Children are traumatized by s*xist & racist systems.

Las trabajadoras del hogar tienen que dejar a sus propios hijos para cuidar a los hijos y a las familias de otros por salarios bajos. Además, muchas se enfrentan al terror que el ICE siembra en nuestras comunidades: miles de niños permanecen recluidos en centros de detención del ICE. Más de 100.000 han sido separados de sus familias. Las” agencias de bienestar infantil” colaboran con las autoridades migratorias para colocar a los niños en hogares de acogida o darlos en adopción. Los niños sufren traumas a causa de sistemas s*xistas y racistas.

"My grandchildren and I were robbed of the chance to have a relationship with each other when they grew up. Most child removals are related to poverty, racial profiling, disability, and domestic violence. The majority of the children taken are Black or Brown." - Barbara, Women of Color/Global Women's Strike
