“I hope in 2019 we can keep on supporting women into the movement by demonstrating we are here for unity, justice and peace.”<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Other events include <\/span>My Mum is On Strike: Free stay and play<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>which will<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>take place at 4pm at <\/span>Trinity Centre, Four Elms Road, Cardiff<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nIt has been organised so that mothers, grandparents and carers who identify as women and femmes can join the strike from their gendered labour for the day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nThis UK-wide event came about after two mothers and a special needs care worker wondered what would happen if mothers and carers everywhere went on strike on International Women\u2019s <\/span>Day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nThere will be face paints, arts and crafts, toys and opportunities for women to celebrate the day with their children and grandchildren<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe day will end with a meeting outside Central Library for a public display of joyful resistance and celebration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe group will then make its way to Trinity Centre for an evening of food, music, spoken word and art featuring women and non-binary artists.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe Women\u2019s Strike Assembly is run by volunteers on a non-profit basis.<\/span>\u00a0To support the event<\/span>s<\/span>, donate <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
