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.
