The Mirabal platform, a coalition of around a hundred organisations, called a national Brussels march against gender-based violence. Organisers and union partners connected physical and sexual violence with economic violence: low wages, imposed part-time work, insecure housing and austerity that increases women’s vulnerability. Mirabal’s call named patriarchal, capitalist and racist relations of domination and invited broad participation. Local reporting put attendance between 3,000 and 5,000.
