Hi, I’m Dolmeng and I’m here at the rally of women’s strike, in the anniversary of 8 March. Today more than hundreds of workers and people, especially women, and LGBTs gathered, including many women workers on strike, from various unions, such as the union of KEC corporation, the semicondutor company, and also the unions such as call center, tollgate, and tutoring industry. There are also many workers and students, who participated the rally, using annual leave or stopping the domestic labor, or the education.

Last year, women and the LGBTs were at the forefront against the far right Yoon government, which insisted that “there’s no systematic gender discrimination”. but after overthrowing the Yoon government, the life of the oppressed is still the same. in the new democratic party government of Lee jae-myeong, women are still suffering from low wage and precarious conditions, and the government is pushing the labor reform, which seeks to expand the so-called ‘flexibility’ of labor, which means the aggravation of the discrimination and precarity of the women, LGBT, and migrant workers.

Also with the rising imperialist aggression, as we can see from United States’ attack on Iran, Venezuela, and ongoing Genocide on Palestine, the Korean government is actively being complicit with the imperialist countries, expanding and profiteering from war industry. Israel is sustaining the Genocide on Palestinian women and minors, using technologies and equipment of Korean large companies like HD Hyundai, and Hanhwa. and Korean government is now positively considering to join the hypocritic “Peace Board” proposed by Trump. All these acts are killing women and minors in Palestine, and will open the future of the war on East Asia, as a result of the imperialist confrontation with China.

so to confront all these patriarchy, imperialism, and capitalism, that exploit, discriminate, oppress, and massacre women and minors, the women’s strike organizing committee has seven demands. 1. No sexual discrimination in the workplace 2. full labor right for all workers, including domestic worker, self-employed, Freelancer, gig worker, disabled, and migrants. 3. Full Public care system 4. Freedom of changing workplace for migrant workers, and No crackdown and deportation 5. ‘comprehensive anti-discrimination law’ right now, including such as healthcare for the gender transition 6. criminalizing the ‘rape without consent’, comprehensive sexual education and healthcare for abortion right 7. Stop complicit on Genocide on Palestine, No more imperialist war.

with these demands, we will keep fight for all women and LGBT, and the oppressed. for that, Let’s keep organize the women’s strike of all workers. 투쟁!
