Collecti.e.f 8 maars called Belgium’s first national women’s strike, asking women and people who identify as women to withdraw from paid work, housework, care, consumption and education. The action connected pay and pension inequality with gendered violence, racism, migration, bodily autonomy and underfunded public services. Thousands marched in Brussels, while actions also took place in other cities. The strike grew from international feminist organising and stressed that social reproduction is political work.
