Déclaration de la Journée Internationale des Femmes Travailleuses 2026

A statement by Friends of the Earth International for International Working Women's Day 2026, arguing that gender justice is inseparable from broader struggles for climate, economic, and social justice, and calling for the dismantling of structural systems of oppression.

• The document asserts that gender injustice is rooted in structural forces including patriarchy, militarism, racism, colonial legacy, corporate power, and imperialism, which dictate the control of resources and the distribution of crisis burdens.
• Environmental destruction disproportionately impacts women, increasing their burdens regarding water procurement, food security, and poverty, while the militarization or exploitation of territories threatens women's bodies and livelihoods.
• The statement highlights a regression in rights driven by far-right forces, the shrinking of civic space, and programs designed to control women's bodies and silence feminist voices.
• Friends of the Earth International calls on governments and the international community to protect environmental and human rights defenders, end policies of militarization and genocide, ensure access to land and decision-making power, invest in universal public services and care systems, and end impunity for violence against women and marginalized communities.
• The use of the term 'International Working Women's Day' is intended to emphasize the importance of labor dignity and the fact that essential care work is largely performed without pay or rights by women, indigenous women, women of African descent, and gender-diverse people.
