Dear comrades and friends
On the occasion of the 8th of March the International Day of Women, we would like to congratulate all women around the world for their active participation and share at all life levels. With their presence, life has its real meaning.
During the COVID-19, the world in general and the Arab world in particular have suffered from great health, economic and social sequences. However, working women in particular have suffered more because they have to double their efforts in order to compensate for the existing unemployment high rates of their husbands or male care-takers. Women have proved especially in the health sector that they are the real protectors of the world for their unprecedented courage to stay at hospital and next to people suffering from COVID-19.
We in WFTU strongly believe that women are half of the society and they take care of the other half. During COVID-19, we have carried out tens of webinars that included working women committees. In the world, WFTU campaign for the release of Palestinian children from Israel prisoners aims to relieve their mothers who suffer from daily panic because their children are apart from them.
Long live Working Women in the World
Long live WFTU
