Reclaiming the revolutionary road towards women's liberation - Fundraiser, Dinner, Lecture & Performances


March 05, 2011


During this 100th year anniversary of International Women's Day, the Philippine Women Centre of Ontario (PWC-ON) in collaboration with UKPC@UofT invites everyone to an empowering night featuring a fundraising dinner with a public lecture and cultural performances in celebration of the century-long legacy of revolutionary women's struggle. Initially wrought a hundred years ago by women garment and factory workers who marched the streets of New York in outright refusal of their severe working conditions, the very existence of International Women's Day is a testament of the revolutionary ideas, processes and actions that have built and strengthened the growing women's movement. During the celebration, a dynamic discussion by Cecilia Diocson is set to highlight the necessity of reclaiming the revolutionary road towards genuine women's liberation, as a call to all women to reclaim the struggle of working-class women as an integral component to the struggle of the entire working-class.

As women are often the hardest-hit by regressive economic policies, Ms. Diocson's discussion is to be a sure reminder of how women's intensifying marginalization and exploitation are fueled by the anti-woman and anti-worker neoliberal project for economic expansion.
