Women’s Liberation Foundation for Human Rights

Women’s Liberation Foundation for Human Rights

March 8 marks the 115^th Celebration of International Women’s Day.

Marches and gatherings across the world are taking stock of the indignities women suffer as workers, as family members, and as citizens. There are three countries where women still cannot legally vote,¹ and women are paid 77 cents for every dollar earned by a man, as recently report in the U.S ²

Despite these and other injustices, now is a time for great hope. Now is a time for revolution, one that will be led by women. Women have been at the forefront of revolutions before. Women’s Day was inspired by a 1908 march of 15,000 New York City women demanding shorter hours, better pay, and voting rights.³ In 1917, women in Russia organized a strike demanding “bread and peace,” causing the Czar to abdicate.⁴

Advances in AI technology are creating the technological foundation for the overthrow of capitalism and its replacement by a planned economy controlled through digital technology. Consequently, the working class, the 99 percent who must work to survive, is becoming unable to get work. To survive, we must capture state power and reorganize the economy for the benefit of all.

Women are at the front of the Working-Class and the Fight for Justice.

Because of this, they are under attack. The capitalist state is attempting to defeat all workers by denying women control over our reproductive rights and weakening women’s rights to economic independence and employment. Women have responded to these attacks by running for public office, in 2020 583 women filed to run for the U.S. House of Representatives, 69 for governor, and 70 for U.S. Senate.⁵. This was only the beginning; 2026 will be even larger.

Women are the foundation of the human race, yet they became subject to class domination and enslavement 10,000 years ago when men took control of private property and the reins of state power.⁶ The class struggle is moving to seize state power and eliminate private property, thereby eliminating the historic injustice suffered by women. A 21st-century revolution promises to liberate humanity forever. The alternative is warfare, death, and ecocide.
