Where women strike, it becomes visible that politics does not only take place in parliaments, but wherever people withdraw their consent.
– Hannah Arendt
We say
ENOUGH!
ENOUGH! BASTA! IT’S TIME FOR A GLOBAL WOMEN* GENERAL STRIKE
We are extending International Women’s Day, Sunday (!) March 8, 2026, by adding a day of strike on Monday, March 9. Threatening times demand sharper tools than petitions and patient demonstrations. We will lay down both paid and unpaid work and call for diverse forms of protest and action, each according to her possibilities.
GLOBAL, because women’s rights are under attack worldwide +++ STRIKE, because for women* it has always been the most powerful non-violent tool against capitalism and patriarchy +++ GENERAL STRIKE, because injustice affects all areas of our lives — we are facing a general assault on our bodies, our souls, and our minds.
Who are WE?
In May 2025, four women — connected only by mutual respect — spoke out publicly about what we all know from countless conversations with other women*: disbelief, powerlessness or disempowerment, exhaustion, and anger in the face of a world in crisis, largely caused by one gender. This formed a collective outcry: ENOUGH! BASTA! YETER! ENOUGH!
We'VE become many
ENOUGH! is a growing platform with actually more than 1,110 women* and several dozen men*, over 65 regional groups access the globe, and more than 70 organizations as multiplicators — each saying ENOUGH! in their own way. Together we are planning more than 120 events and actions for ENOUGH!
Time has come
For a protest as diverse as our experiences, backgrounds, and generations, and as a necessary response to the escalating global threat, financial precarity, and discrimination faced by women* in all their diversity.
ENOUGH! of endless wars, driven by autocrats against opposing voices, human rights, international law, and freedom of expression and the press. BASTA! to those who deny climate catastrophe, exploit people and nature, and build up unimaginable wealth and power. It is time for a loud, collective ENOUGH!
History knows our power. It is high time we use it again.
How to Take Part
Sitting, lying down, singing, screaming out loud for one minute, dancing, picnicking : Mobilizing the wealth of ideas, in public and protected spaces, centrally and decentrally, we show our ENOUGH! and make our global collective strength visible Those who can, take the whole day. Together we create a global moment from 12 to 2 p.m., following the path of the sun. Every ENOUGH! counts. Join one of the events, create your own strike action, find your regional group — or start one yourself.
