This year's International Women's & Women Solidarity Day is as important as a day like this can be, coming at a time when basic human rights are under attack around the world.

We see numerous efforts by far-right political movements to undermine women, portraying them as weak and simplistic. We also witness trans women being marginalized and silenced, despite being just as valid and real as any other women. Yet, we often overlook a common thread that unites both women and the LGBTQIA community: the fight for gender equality and rights.

The far-right seeks to divide us and to make us think we have nothing in common, but they are dead wrong, always were and always will be. March 8th will always be a reminder that the battle isn't over yet, and that we must stay united, as we share the same goal.
