World Women’s Day 8M was celebrated in Palma with two separate marches: that of the Feminist Movement of Mallorca and the Transfeminist 8M Coordinating Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n

4,500 people was yesterday in two marches for the World Women’s Day. On the occasion of 8M the Feminist Movement of Mallorca and the Coordinadora 8M Transfeminista have organised two separate demonstrations. It’s because the latter considers that the trans collective has been excluded by ‘classic’ feminism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the transfeminist collective want to ‘guarantee a safe space for trans women and that they have the protagonism that they have to have on 8M’<\/strong>, according to their spokesperson Sara Barcel\u00f3. Protagonism that they consider that has been left aside since ‘the Feminist Movement of Mallorca (Moviment Feminista) has not put on its public agenda the struggle and the visibility of the problems of the trans collective’, they criticize.<\/p>\n

Why is 8M International Women’s Day?<\/h2>\n

The history of International Women’s Day<\/strong> is linked to women workers’ days of protest that began in the early years of the 20th century. Among many other historical events, this day commemorates the tragic fire that ravaged the Triangle Shirtwais shirt factory in New York in March 1911, in which 146 people died, most of them women.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The women workers at the factory had gone on strike to win the same labour rights as their male counterparts. The dead died trapped, as the employers had closed all the exits. This event had a major impact on labour law in the United States<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
