TODAY is the 30th anniversary of the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls issued by the UN General Assembly in 1993.

To commemorate this day, the Communist Party and its Women’s Commission had planned to host a webinar on The Violence of Misogyny, a global apparatus of women’s oppression with a panel of international speakers.

Then, on October 7, Hamas launched a brutal attack on Israel that has resulted in Israel’s ongoing retaliatory war on Gaza.
