Mothers Protest Family Separation, De-Valuing of Caring Work

On Saturday, March 13, mothers and those who depend on them held simultaneous protests in ten cities around the world in honor of the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. Called by the Global Women's Strike, the events united under the call to "Invest in Caring, Not Killing," beginning with payment for the first carers: mothers. Marchers also demanded resources for family reunification and protested the mistreatment of undocumented domestic laborers.
