International Women’s Day developed out of socialist struggles in the early 1900s which demanded women’s voting rights, creation of nurseries, free meals and learning tools in schools and kindergartens, social assistance for mothers, single parents, and children, and creation of labor laws for working women.

Today those socialist feminist struggles have taken the form of demanding an end to rape culture and domestic violence through the me too movement, justice for farmworkers, equality for LGBTQ people, the funding of schools, access to free and safe abortion and healthcare, the opening of borders, an end to racism, and an end to environmental abuses.
