WORLD WORLDWIDE SPAIN VALENCIA News Journal Update - (en) Spain, CGT Valencia calls a feminist general strike on 8M (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The local Federation of Valencia of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) has

called for next March 8, International Day of Working Women, a feminist general
strike for the province of Valencia. ---- CGT València has given advance notice
of the call for a feminist general strike for next March 8, the international day
of working women, after the plenary session of unions of the Valencian local
federation of the anarcho-syndicalist organization ratified the decision of the
affiliation shown in the assemblies held previously. ---- The call will have a
provincial character and will serve, according to CGT València sources, to "make
it clear that there are still sufficient reasons to demand an end to the
inequalities that women continue to suffer in the labor, economic and social
spheres and that they remain reflected both in access to employment, professional
promotion, the wage gap and pensions". In addition, from the anarcho-syndicalist
organization they point out that "the current policies continue to be
insufficient to put an end to sexist violence in all areas of life, we believe
that it is our obligation to defend the interests of the working class by
exercising the fundamental right to strike and making a call for the mobilization
of the whole society".

The announcement comes a few days after the Feminist Assembly of Valencia
reported that in 2023 they were calling for the feminist general strike again as
they did in 2018 and 2019.
