Women change the world.

Ahead of International Women’s Day, the Left is organising its annual Feminist Forum at the European Parliament, ASP 1G2.

In the midst of the worst cost of living crisis in decades and with worrying levels of violence against women, we ask what’s next for the “resisterhood”?

Left MEPs Malin Björk (Swedish Left Party), Elena Kountoura (Syriza) and María Eugenia Rodríguez Palop (Podemos) will be joined by special guests to discuss how freedom from patriarchy can help end violence against women and fight exploitation and female poverty.
