The global women's struggle – and its role in winning peace and socialism
LIZ PAYNE introduces the women who will speak in the international section of next Saturday’s conference, Sisterhood, Socialism and Struggle — Communist Women Rising

OUR panellists at Sisterhood, Socialism and Struggle will join us from North and South America, Africa and Asia.
