Women’s liberation today and the Charter for Women
CAROL STAVRIS explains why the Communist Party of Britain sees the women’s movement as a central part of the struggle for socialism and the Charter for Women as its best vehicle
FIGHTING WOMEN: A National Assembly of Women seminar in 2021

THE 57th congress of the Communist Party of  Britain (CPB) in November is calling for a united front, lifting the battle of ideas to a new level and the sharpening struggle to radically change society. For working-class women, unity in action is a necessity.

Living in a culture which sanctions deeply sexist and misogynist behaviour, women in Britain have to build unity among themselves, our communities and in our class organisations to protect ourselves, defend our rights and be ready for the struggles ahead.  

Our daily lives are blighted by oppression because we are women. Poverty, sexual harassment, physical violence, inequality and marginalisation are the lot of many of us.
