The New York City branch of Workers World Party held a forum on “Women, the global capitalist crisis and the growing fightback” March 13 at the Solidarity Center. The forum commemorated the centennial of International Women’s Day recognized on March 8. Speakers covered a range of developments that socially impact women of all nationalities, ages and gender expressions, such as sexual exploitation, unemployment, budget cuts, war, occupation and racism. Building solidarity and the need for socialism were common themes for a number of the talks. Hear the podcasts of the presentations at www.workers.org.
