International Women\u2019s Day in Manchester\u00a0saw a march\u00a0take to the streets\u00a0by feminists protesting\u00a0against patriarchy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday (8 March) the protest began outside the Queen Victoria statue in Piccadilly Gardens with a round of speeches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The march was organised by the Feminist Coalition<\/a> and Young Struggle Manchester, which saw a significant turnout of people for the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Women’s Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the fourth year that the International Women’s Day march has been held by these two groups in Manchester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protesters\u00a0of the march\u00a0spoke out\u00a0in opposition to the war in\u00a0Iran, the war in Gaza\u00a0and what protestors claim is ‘sexism’ within Greater Manchester Police.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At midday, the drums began to play, and one of the first speakers to the crowd was Hannah from the free Palestine movement in Manchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: \u201cI stand here to speak as a Palestinian woman, though this identity does not mean much if it does not carry with it a mode of action and defiance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is appalling is not only that Palestinian women are having to bear the heavy consequences of occupation, but that they are also exploited in the name of a racist agenda.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the speeches at the Victoria statue, there was a round of singing to commemorate the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A group of women sang a song called Cancion sin miedo in Spanish also known as ‘Fearless Song’ in English, which was met by a round of applause from the crowd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song is a regional Mexican protest song written by Vivir Quintana<\/a>, who fights against patriarchal violence with her music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this the march began leading its way through the city with chants for women’s freedom and liberation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

‘Revolution is our right – women show the way to fight<\/strong>‘<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The chants that were repeated during the march were: \u201cWoman like freedom. Women work as trans and queer, make the fascists disappear.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The march stopped outside the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) building with heartfelt speeches and plastering of posters on the building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

One of the speakers expressed her thoughts to the crowd: \u201cCommunity action is everything and me as a working-class young woman of gypsy breed says to Manchester that what is the point of anything if we are not going to do it with our whole heart and mind.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most significant posters taped to the building was the protesters’ demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their demands include that the GMP \u00a314.1m budget increase be used to fund women\u2019s services; action taken for women who suffer alleged harassment; and for the state to stop participating in and providing weapons to Middle East conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The march concluded with further speeches outside the Manchester library before dispersing. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
