NOVEMBER 25 each year is designated as the UN day for the elimination of violence against women and girls (VAWG).
This year, women of the Communist Party of Britain (CPB) and the Young Communist League (YCL) have collaborated to put on a conference highlighting this issue. Georgina Andrews and Carol Stavris explain why.
Georgina Andrews, general secretary of the YCL
The YCL and CPB are excited to announce our first-ever joint women’s conference on Saturday December 7 at the Marx Memorial Library in London.
Falling on one of the 16 days of activism for the elimination of VAWG, this conference hopes to unite women from the labour and progressive movement to discuss the issues affecting women today, to support solidarity with our sisters abroad and to build the class struggle in Britain for women’s emancipation.
The central theme of tackling VAWG necessitates sessions on how to organise women in the most urgent challenges they face to win concessions for young and working women, as well as developing their political consciousness.
