We're in! We support! Enough - Enough!
FEMNET participates in the International Women's Strike Day in Bonn on March 8th (International Women's Day) with actions on March 9th, 26th!
On March 9, 2026, women worldwide are called upon to strike according to their respective possibilities and conditions: through the abandonment of paid and unpaid work, through public actions, symbolic forms of protest, artistic interventions or collective presence in public space. The aim is not a unified ritual, but a multi-voiced, global outcry -- ENOUGH!
Women have had enough! Enough of systematic devaluation, unpaid care work, femicides, patriarchal power structures, the gender pay gap – the list is long!
Therefore, on 9 March 2026, women* take a day off in many places – they let paid and unpaid work rest, they strike, they dance, they scream, they are silent. They fill streets and squares with their performances. Under the slogan ENOUGH! BASTA! take to the streets together. Men* are there. They go on strike, they take care of the care work at home. They express their ENOUGH! The Icelanders faked it in 1975 when they left work for a day and brought the country to a standstill.
In total, almost 60 regional groups and women in the USA, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, etc. are participating in the campaign.
50 red chairs on Münsterplatz - March 9 in Bonn
From 12:00 o'clock women on the Münsterplatz in Bonn say and sing their ENOUGH! 50 red chairs invite you to: Sit down! Stop it! What have you had enough of?
In 20 pavilions and at tables, we discuss and talk with women and men about the topics that are important to them. The rappers CONNY & Liser from Cologne are there like the managing director of UN Women – Bettina Metz. "We are all about having a wide range of women, associations and initiatives, because we all have ENOUGH! Of many things", said the initiator in Bonn, Dr Isabell Liisberg-Haag.
From 6:30 p.m. she will discuss feminism, generational differences and cultural aspects with the author Souad Lamroubal (The Democracy of Others) at the House of Education.
For a protest as diverse as our experiences, origins and generations.
