International Women’s Day, March 8, 2002 marks the third Global Women’s Strike (GWS) with the theme "Invest in Caring Not Killing. Women charge that "never before has there been so much wealth – yet so many of us with so little." With the Strike women the global carers give their collective “No” to globalization and militarization. Prioritizing the production of things over caring for people threatens human life and the life of the planet. The Strike calls for a total change of social and economic priorities for the whole society beginning with women. According to the UN, women do 2/3 of the world’s work, and 2/3 of this work is unwaged.
