Celebrate International Women’s Day
Capitalism is femicidal: Women resisters speak out
Femicide is on the rise. Australia’s count of women murdered in 2025 is 62. The death toll for the first month of this year is already six. Trans Day of Remembrance recorded 28 trans women killed. Murders of First Nations women are 13 times higher than those of non-Aboriginal women.
But these horrific figures are not the full picture of femicide. Treating the cause as male violence does not explain the devastation or offer answers. Plus the stats don’t account for deaths in custody and other forms of state violence. Nor do they cover the carnage from environmental destruction, war and genocide, unsafe and insecure work, denial of bodily autonomy, anti-disability abuse, homelessness, destitution, malnutrition and the impact of rampant bigotry.
In honouring International Women’s Day, we’ll hear dynamic voices of resistance against an inhuman system that centres its violence on women. And we’ll discuss how to end it!
Come and hear:
- Natalie Feliks, co-founder of Trans Action Network
- Kelly Flanagan, Wiradjuri woman, survivor of family violence, intergenerational trauma and member of FIGJAM (Formerly Incarcerated Girls Justice Advocates Melbourne)
- Rathy Barthlote, organiser of the 100-day refugee encampment outside Home Affairs and co-founder of Refugee Women Action for Visa Equality
- Maudie Osborne, Community and Public Sector Unionist, anti-fascist organiser and Radical Women member

Radical Women Study Circle
Women & Revolution: Now’s the time!
Resistance is here. We’ve been brought together through powerful fights for liberation, from Palestine to First Nations here. Women — as First Nations, Palestinians, refugees, unionists, students, trans and queer warriors — are on these front lines. And we’ve become an irrepressible force, so much so that the powers-that-be have to create laws to stop us.
This study circle is for all of us. We’ll learn from the past and present how women have always been social leaders. We’ll get inspiration from fighters on today’s global front lines. And we’ll delve into how resistance can lead to revolution, and transform the world.
A delicious dinner is served at 6.30 PM for a $10 donation. Sessions start at 7.00 pm. All genders welcome!

All out for Invasion Day!
Join us at the Invasion Day protest. We will be marching with the newly formed Naarm Anti-fascist United Front (NAUF), which Radical Women and Freedom Socialist Party are part of.
As well as taking a stand against fascists and the far right, we stand with First Nations peoples across this continent and will prioritise the demands raised by the Invasion Day rally organiser, Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance:
– Freedom for our peoples, lands and waters
– Treaty and truth for our old people and for future generations
– Justice for babies and kids so they can grow up safe, loved, and free
– An end to deaths in custody, forced removals, and ongoing violence from systems built on invasion.
Join us at 10:30 am on the corner of Little Bourke Street and Spring Streets. Wear purple.

Protest Israeli President’s visit!
As the Albanese government was cracking down on our rights to free speech and protest, it invited Israeli president and accused war criminal, Isaac Herzog, to Australia. The Palestinian death toll is over well 70,000 — the majority women and children. The tents housing survivors have been hit by bitter winter flooding. Babies are freezing to death, and communities are starving.
Herzog is named by the UN International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory as a perpetrator of this calculated, deliberate genocide.
To call out Zionism for this unspeakable inhumanity (ongoing since 1947) is promptly smeared as antisemitic “hate speech.” This fallacious conflation of anti-Zionism and antisemitism has extended to blaming the Bondi shooting on two-and-a-half years of widespread organised solidarity for Palestine. Palestinians’ struggle for freedom and our right to stand with them are criminalised and intertwined.
The meeting of these heads of two imperialist, genocidal settler states can have only one purpose: to tighten their criminal ties even more and fortify this latest onslaught on our rights to resist.
On January 11, we must come out in our many thousands to protest Herzog’s visit. Stand with the Palestinian struggle and for our right to do so!
Join up with Freedom Socialist Party and Radical Women. You can contact RW at rw.aus@radicalwomen.org See you on the 11th!
