ABOUT US

We campaign for a caring economy where human beings and all life are central, not a means to an end.

The caring work women do produces and reproduces the workforce, in fact the whole human race. It should be a source of power for women. Instead it is used to exploit and impoverish us. To escape poverty and financial dependence, women have fought to enter jobs and careers previously reserved for men. Some have risen in the capitalist hierarchy but most have not, especially mothers, so we are still the poorer sex.

The status of caring work – vital to survival and wellbeing – has hardly changed. It is still unpaid or low paid. Some of the financial recognition mothers had won – welfare, Family Allowance / Child Benefit, Income Support has been rolled back.

As part of the climate justice movement, we  campaign with natural farmers, land and human rights defenders, opposing corporate takeovers and industrial farming which treats animals like machines. 

Our campaigns include:

Ending poverty, welfare cuts, detention, deportation, a care income for all carers of people,  the  land and the natural world, domestic workers’ rights, pay equity, justice for survivors of rape and domestic violence, challenging racism, disability racism, queer discrimination, transphobia, decriminalising sex work, stopping the state taking children from their mothers, opposing apartheid, war, genocide, military occupation, corporate land grabs, supporting human rights defenders, ending the death penalty and solitary confinement.

All of our campaigns are for climate justice and survival.
