The Global Women's Strike is coordinated by the Wages for Housework Campaign, which started in 1972 by Selma James. We are an international grassroots network campaigning for recognition and payment for all caring work, in the home and outside. Mothers and other carers, of every gender, are entitled to a living wage, a Care Income – in cash, land and/or non-polluting technology.
We campaign to end power relations of sex, race, class, income, nation, immigration status, city and countryside, age, dis/ability, occupation, gender identity, Global North and South … We work with Payday, a network of men who share our aims.
About us: We are an international grassroots network campaigning for recognition and payment for all caring work, in the home and on the land...
Our international community: There are Global Women's Strike groups in India, Ireland, Peru, Thailand, UK, US (Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco) and we work with people in many other countries.
Our collective power: We are part of a global collective of a number of autonomous organisations within the Global Women’s Strike. Each has its own constituency and campaigns, each can count on the collective power of all.
Resources and ways to join with us: Antiracism, anti-discrimination and the justice work we do for ourselves and with others are at the heart of our campaigning.
