Women's Rights Day 2025: feminist strike and demonstration in Paris on March 8

Women's rights, a daily struggle that must be pursued. To mark International Women's Rights Day, several associations and trade unions are calling for a feminist strike. Demonstrators are invited to"strike against work, domestic chores and consumption", as well as to take to the streets to take part in the various social movements organized for this Saturday, March 8, 2025.

This strike is a reminder of the battles still to be fought, and a warning of the injustices that women still have to face. At the heart of the demonstrators' concerns are the growing attacks on women's rights around the world, particularly in countries where wars and extremists are coming to power. The collective also warns of the rise of theextreme right in France and Europe.

The demonstration is also a reminder of women's precarious position in the job market, as well as wage inequalities, given that " women account for 62% of those paid the minimum wage and 70% of food bank beneficiaries ", points out the Grève féministe collective.

In its call for a feminist strike, the collective calls for " the reopening of the 130-plus voluntary pregnancy termination centers that have been closed " and for " concrete action to combat all forms of sexist and sexual violence ".

The Grève féministe collective and several signatories of the call to demonstrate (CGT, Attac France, FSU, Le Planning Familial...) are therefore calling for a strike and mobilization on March 8, 2025. In Paris, the march will start at 2pm from Place de la République, in the 11th arrondissement.
