Labourer women were on the streets on 8th March, International Labourer Women Day, in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan in order to cry out their problems and demands. Women in many cities from Istanbul to Amed, Ankara to Antep met in joyful demonstrations and rallies, and said "everyday is 8 March, everyday is a fight!".

As it was in the past years, this year's 8 March demonstrations also showed a splintery tabloid. In Istanbul, where two different 8 March demonstrations were organised, while the revolutionary organisations, among them the ESP , EKD , HOC , DHP and DKH, organised a demo in Kadikoy, the feminists, Kurdish women and EMEP came together in the Caglayan demo.

The split, which has been continuously developed in the past years by the feminist and reformist women groups in the axes of "demo without man", and especially the Kurdish national organisations' participation in different demos together with feminists and EMEP, brought the weak reflection of the emphasis of peoples' brotherhood against chauvinism, one of the main topics of this period and of the 8th March too, in a central place such as Istanbul. It also brought an 8 March tabloid that do not serve the need for a united struggle in the period where the state has been waging intense attacks on the Kurdish national movement and the revolutionary movement.

On the other side, the organisation of a joint demonstration by the revolutionary organisations through overcoming last year's fragmentation represents an important achievement of the year. It was also important to see that not only ESP and EKD as usual but also the other revolutionary groups tended to organise a demo where labourer women form the centre.

In the 8th March actions, where EKD (Labourer Women's Association) prepared under the slogan of "Let's raise the struggle on violence against women, chauvinism, poverty and degeneration", the fight against chauvinist aggression and state terror in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan and the violence against women became the main topics.
