Women in Spain go on strike

Guardian - Women in Spain will abandon their paid and unpaid work on Thursday to participate in the country’s first nationwide “feminist strike”, which aims to highlight sexual discrimination, domestic violence and the wage gap.

The walkout, which coincides with International Women’s Day, is being supported by some of the country’s most high-profile female politicians, including Manuela Carmena and Ada Colau, the mayors of Madrid and Barcelona respectively.
