Today we mark #InternationalDayOfPeace. Labour must be a voice for peace, disarmament, and a just transition for arms industry workers. We will continue to work with our union allies to build a world in which ALL workers skills and labour are committed to socially useful ends.

Sanctions kill women. Sanctions restrict women’s access to healthcare. Sanctions create shortages in women’s products. Sanctions disrupt sectors that largely employ women (textiles, agriculture). Fighting for women must mean fighting against US sanctions, not in support of them.
