24 April, the International Day of Feminist Solidarity Against Transnational Corporations, commemorates the collapse of the Rana Plaza and condemns a global system that continues to prioritise profit over life. Today, transnational corporations, militarisation and imperialism remain deeply intertwined, intensifying exploitation, war and ecological destruction, whilst women continue to resist and preserve life. The national coordinating bodies of the World March of Women have come together and organised actions to denounce corporate power and militarisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give voice to rise against exploitation: Globalize Resistance. Globalize Feminist Solidarity.<\/em><\/strong> Dismantle Corporate Power!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc Bangladesh<\/strong>
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 \u201cRana Plaza is everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, members of the Forum Mulher and World March of Women came together to denounce a system where profit continues to cost women\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\ud83d\udccc\" Jordan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WMW Jordan came together for April 24 to reflect on the situation in Jordan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The women\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24 April \u2013 The International Feminist Solidarity Day against the power of transnational corporations in S\u00e3o 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\ud83d\udccc\" Palestine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Further Suggestion: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch the documentary that exposes ongoing exploitation, and amplifies the struggles of garment workers in Sri Lanka, where women workers and militants of the WMW came together to raise the urgent demands of Sri Lankan garment workers. Exposing the exploitation in boarding houses in the Global South with capitalist consumerism in the Global North, the documentary reframes consumption as a political issue. It is both a call to resistance and the need for a feminist economy that puts life over profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
