James Connolly Festival 2021 - Roundtable Discussion

There is a long-established link between economic crises and increases in gender-based violence, and the COVID pandemic has only served to accelerate the next global economic crisis, thus worsening the situation for women and girls around the world.

Members of the Communist Party Of Ireland Women’s Committee have a round table discussion, bringing a Marxist-feminist analysis to gender-based violence, contending that the root cause is the capitalist economic system, which utilises patriarchy and misogyny to create divisions based on gender within the working class.
