On the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, between 200 and 300 people responded to the call of 23 feminist groups and demonstrated in the streets of Nice.
Under the slogan “On arrête toutes” (We all stop), women went on strike to protest against inequalities.
For example, depending on the definition of household chores adopted, Insee indeed establishes that women perform on average between 64% and 72% of the total workload.
A woman’s salary is on average 19% lower than that of a man.
For the collectives, this strike is a step towards the convergence of social struggles both nationally and internationally.
In fact, since they were there and for good measure, when they arrived at Place Masséna, the participants sang in solidarity with Argentine women who are currently demonstrating for the recognition of the right to abortion.
