We at the Solidarity Economy Association are supporting the Women’s Strike on 8 March, with several of our worker members taking part. Actively participating in action with movements that share our values is an essential part of creating a thriving solidarity economy for the UK – an economy based on justice, diversity and pluralism, co-operation, self-management, ecological sustainability, […]
I’m striking because my brothel manager continues to increase the amount of money she takes from us, and threatens our jobs when we try to object. I need decriminalisation so that I am granted the same protection as other workers and the ability to unionise.
We have called a global feminist strike for the 8th of March. We strike because we are being killed in the streets and in our homes; we strike because we are being exploited, paid less, and because we are being discriminated by the colour of our skin or heritage. Many of us have been left […]

Unpaid work like childcare and cleaning prop up the world economy. As carers of children, we resent our love being exploited and we are going to […]
The Women’s Strike in Britain began with women coming together to explore our visions of the red feminist horizon – what it could look like and how, crucially – how we could get there. The argument that we want to make is that the Women’s Strike is not a one-day event set to coincide with […]
