The global women's struggle – and its role in winning peace and socialism
LIZ PAYNE introduces the women who will speak in the international section of next Saturday’s conference, Sisterhood, Socialism and Struggle — Communist Women Rising

OUR panellists at Sisterhood, Socialism and Struggle will join us from North and South America, Africa and Asia. 

Their lives, including decades-long roles in fighting against sexism and for women’s rights are in themselves an inspiration. 

So too are the leading positions and responsibilities in the movement they now hold and about which they will tell us more on the day.
