📌 Bangladesh
The National Coordinating Body of Bangladesh organized various activities to commemorate the victims of the Rana Plaza collapse on 24 April, as part of the 24-hour global action of the World March of Women.
Women from different districts across Bangladesh gathered to show feminist solidarity during the 24-hour action. They raised their voices against transnational corporations and highlighted the ongoing discrimination they face, particularly the lack of equal opportunities. This also reminds us that “Rana Plaza is everywhere.”

Mozambique

Today, members of the Forum Mulher and World March of Women came together to denounce a system where profit continues to cost women’s lives. We remember the 1,000+ victims of the Rana Plaza collapse. This was not an accident, it is the result of a global system still active today. From Bangladesh to Mozambique, women face exploitation, low wages, and repression. We demand justice based on care and collective life, not profit!

Jordan

WMW Jordan came together for April 24 to reflect on the situation in Jordan:

The women’s participation in the labor market remains limited. Women face multiple barriers: lack of transportation, absence of childcare, wage gaps, and limited opportunities in certain sectors. Even when women enter the workforce, they often find themselves in lower-paid or less stable positions. Here, Rana Plaza does not appear as a sudden disaster, but as slow attrition: a woman excluded before she begins, another withdrawing despite her competence, and a third working without prospects for advancement.

📌 Pakistan
Pakistan NCB, on April 24th, demands an end to the military-industrial complex and the systems that sustain it. We demand justice for those who lost their lives at Rana Plaza and in all forms of corporate violence. We demand an end to sanctions, occupations, and imperialist interventions. We demand climate justice based on care, sovereignty, and collective life, not control and profit.

The World March of Women of the Americas, together with ALBA organizations and movements, mobilized to denounce U.S. imperialism and in solidarity with the women and people of Cuba and Venezuela! In the Recife metropolitan area (Pernambuco), women took to the streets in the neighborhoods of Palha do Arroz, 15 de Novembro, AMPAC, Grupo Mulher Maravilha, and Condor/Cabo Gato! Trump out of Latin America and the Caribbean! Cuba and Venezuela resist! We will continue marching until we are all free!

Brasília

24 April – In Brasília, on this International Day of Feminist Solidarity against transnationsl corporations, WMW activists occupied the city’s main flyover at the Plano Piloto bus station, carrying banners and flags in solidarity with the women and peoples of Cuba and Venezuela. Latin America and the Caribbean are territories of peace! No more imperialism! We will keep marching until we are all free!

Nepal

On April 24, marking the International Feminist Solidarity Day Against Transnational Corporations, WMW–NCB Nepal organized a signature campaign in solidarity with women workers and in remembrance of the victims of the Rana Plaza collapse. The campaign drew attention to the ongoing struggles of garment workers and stressed the urgent need for social security, dignity, and safe working conditions. Participants raised a collective voice demanding justice, accountability, and an end to corporate exploitation and unsafe labor practices.

São Paulo

24 April – The International Feminist Solidarity Day against the power of transnational corporations in São Paulo took place in Ramos de Azevedo Square, in front of the Municipal Theatre. The theatre steps were decorated in the colours of the Cuban and Venezuelan flags, and we handed out leaflets to the public. Over the microphone, we read out the text and several comrades took turns speaking. The event was well received and many people expressed their rejection of Trump, war and imperialism. Cuba and Venezuela are not alone! They can and will always count on the international feminist solidarity of the World March of Women.

Palestine

The Palestinian Coordination Committee organized a vigil in memory of Rana Plaza, not as an isolated incident in a distant place, but as a stark reflection of a global system that exploits working women and transforms them into cheap instruments of production serving capital. In Palestine, this exploitation is compounded within a settler-colonial structure that adds daily national oppression to class oppression.

Palestinian working women not only face precarious working conditions, low wages, and a lack of social protection, but also work under an occupation that restricts their movement, plunders their resources, and reshapes the labor market to serve its economy at the expense of their lives and dignity. This reality makes the oppression of working women a multifaceted oppression: class-based, gender-based, and colonial.
