Women will be bearing the brunt of the capitalist recession more and more, in terms of cuts in public services and jobs and through an upturn in domestic violence’, Anita Halpin declared at the Communist Party of Britain’s executive on Sunday.
'International Women's Day, March 8, should be a public holiday in Britain as it is already in Cuba, Vietnam, China and the former socialist countries', Anita Halpin recently told the Communist Party of Britain's political committee.
The CP Political Committee recently met amidst a new and dramatic escalation in the crisis of capitalism and the attacks on working people in Britain, Spain and Greece.
Reporting to the Communist Party’s executive committee at the weekend [16/17 January], international secretary John Foster stressed the key importance of developing a mass movement around the People’s Charter to halt the impending cuts, to resist closures and to demand that the government intervenes to redevelop the productive economy.
