Feminist get-together on Saturday, March 5th 2022 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the City Hall Square

The Feminist Strike Committee wants to increase public visibility and awareness of care work: At City Hall Square on March 5th , 2022, from 11 a.m., there will be workshops, lectures and talks that revolve around the importance and recognition of paid and unpaid care work and around other feminist issues.

Together, we want to create a space for care and make care work, feminist struggles and FINTA*-people (female, intersex, non-binary, trans and asexual – people) visible.

That’s why we are claiming space on March 5th and getting really comfortable doing it. There will be a relaxed get-together with a feminist program and music all day long.

Self-care should not be neglected in the process. Bring everything you need to have a good time: hot drinks, warm clothes, blankets, hot-water bottles… but also books, instruments, games or whatever else you can think of.

Our program:
Morning: information stands
Afternoon: workshops
Throughout the whole day until evening: music from various DJ*anes
We developed a hygiene concept, so that everyone can feel safe.
The Soliküche Knoblauchfahne will provide lunch and dinner. There will also be childcare.
In particular, we invite FINTA* (female, intersexual, non-binary, trans and asexual people) to come to town hall square and get involved or just enjoy the program.

We will publish the detailed schedule soon on our website, Instagram & Facebook.

The Augsburg Feminist Strike Committee is calling for a protest on March 8th, 2022

We are still in crisis – and the system continues to fail. Nurses, doctors, teachers and educators should be fobbed off with bonuses but structural changes are missing. More than ever, mothers, especially in systemically relevant professions, are confronted with multiple burdens. We need this to change! It is not just since the outbreak of the corona pandemic that women have been bearing the brunt of unpaid and low-paid care work. Nursing facilities use the argument of economic efficiency when it comes to the low payment of nursing staff. But the crisis shows that capitalist thinking does not get us anywhere, when solidarity is called for.

Higher salaries or bonus payments are useless when there is a shortage of care workers in the short and long term. The crisis exposes the patriarchal structures that pervade our society: if children have to be quarantined, who takes care of home schooling, childcare and meals? Women experience more family-related stress than men as a result of the corona crisis. Teachers are expected to single-handedly make up for missing state concepts. Caregivers cannot go on like this anymore and they do not want to either. Domestic violence is on the rise. The Patriarchy has a firm grip on us: the role model of the caring housewife and mother, long thought to be outdated, has intensified in the crisis. At the same time, care work is not seen and hardly rewarded.

An end to outdated norms and new performance pressures! No more taking it for granted and not being seen! We are on strike!

On March 8th, 2022 at 4:30 p.m.: Protest and rally, City Hall Square Augsburg, organized by the Augsburg Feminist Strike Committee

For decades, feminists have been discussing the C-question; today, too, we stand up for a gender-equal society. We dream of the feminist utopia and of a future, which we would like to turn into reality today. Feminist struggles connect us! Live feminist! Make care work visible and distribute it fairly! Yesterday, today and tomorrow!

Come by and bring your friends, torches, glow sticks or fairy lights! We symbolically switch on purple lights to finally throw a spotlight on invisible care work.

We developed a hygiene concept so that everyone can feel safe. Please wear masks. The Soliküche Knoblauchfahne provides lunch and dinner.
There will also be childcare.

Further information will be published soon on our website, on Facebook and on Instagram.
