On March 8, millions of women around the world took to the streets to celebrate International Women’s Day. Protestors advocated for women’s rights, equal pay, reproductive freedom, healthcare, labor rights, clean air and water, and pressing local issues that disproportionately affect women, their families, and their…
Hi Jezebel Readers,
As you know from the emails you’ve been getting from Seamless or your dermatologist’s office promising deals deals deals, today, March 8, is International Women’s Day.
A Day Without Women, the general strike organized to coincide with International Women’s Day, appeared to be a logical successor to the January 21st Women’s March following Trump’s inauguration. The election of a racist, kleptocratic egomaniac with no attention span has understandably riled up the nation—in…
On Wednesday, thousands women across the country either went on strike from work, wore red, or abstained from buying things as part of A Day Without a Woman and the International Women’s Strike, to be held in conjunction with International Women’s Day. In the words of the Women’s Strike organizers, “These actions are…
By Wednesday afternoon, thousands of Brazilian women had taken to the streets, occupying government buildings and protesting on major thoroughfares. In Rio de Janeiro, a group of stilt-walkers wearing purple skirts and silver tinsel soared above the massive throngs of women who had assembled at the 18th century…
The “A Day Without a Woman” rally on 59th street was one of hundreds of gatherings around the country connected to Wednesday’s general strike, and the first of two taking place in Manhattan. Midsize but bursting with energy, the event was tightly packed by the time a colleague and I arrived about 20 minutes after noon.
As part of the women’s strike on Wednesday, public schools in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, North Carolina and in Alexandria, Virginia opted to shut down for the day. School officials made the call after hundreds of faculty members requested leaves for what was otherwise known as “A Day Without a Woman.” The strike urged…
There are bad tweets every day of the year, but this is the day that we celebrate the bad tweets that were tweeted today: International Women’s Day.
In a briefing this afternoon, Press Secretary and shambling ball of clay Sean Spicer claimed that none of the female White House staffers he’s “aware of” participated in today’s A Day Without A Woman strike. We hate to trust Sean’s powers of awareness on this one too, but it’s the best we’ve got for now.
Thirteen members of the International Women’s Day Strike were arrested outside of Trump Tower in Manhattan this earlier this afternoon, according to the NYPD.
As you know, today is International Women’s Day, which means us menfolk at Gizmodo Media decided to chip in and post here while the staff of Jezebel went to participate in the women’s strike. As you can see by our work here this morning, I think it’s safe to say that we have already proven that a world without women…
Wednesday is International Women’s Day, and people all over the world are participating by doing things like avoiding work if they’re in a position to do so, wearing red to work if they’re not, attending local rallies, and working directly with women who are in need of help.
For International Women’s Day, ad agency McCann New York and investment firm State Street Global Advisors have placed a sculpture named The Fearless Girl across from the famous Wall Street Charging Bull statue in Lower Manhattan’s Bowling Green Park. The fearless girl stares down the Wall Street bull because she is…
In advance of International Women’s Day on March 8, why not focus on the declining state of women’s healthcare in the United States?
Uber—despite ignoring and dismissing literally thousands of complaints from customers and drivers regarding sexual assault within Uber vehicles over the past three years—would like us women to know that they’ve got our backs. Hey, thanks, Uber.
We’re reaching the last scant minutes of International Women’s Day 2016, but never fear: here is an excellent web series called Period Piece that will more or less tell you everything about menstruation throughout history.
Hi guys, I have a confession to make: until I started writing here, I didn’t really get the whole spiel behind the Kardashian Empire. I never really understood the allure behind Kim, the real captain of the (mostly) alliterative crew that engineers the U.S.S. Kardashian. But Kimmie just dropped a whole lot of truth…
In China, three feminist activists who were arrested in March have been freed. Wei Tingting, Wang Man and Zheng Churan will not face charges but the fate of two other imprisoned activists remains unknown.
Chinese officials locked up ten women so they couldn't protest sexual harassment in the country on Sunday, International Women's Day. But you're reading about their plans now, so it looks like the arrests had the opposite effect the government was hoping for.
