In Erlangen and Nuremberg, there are numerous events every year around March 8, ranging from demonstrations and information events to art and culture. Information on this year’s events is currently being published bit by bit, but is not yet complete. The list below is therefore initially “only” a small collection of (free) Erlangen events on the topic, but it will continue to grow over the coming weeks. So please drop by here again!
Friday, March 8, 2024 from 5 pm at Plärrer, corner of Gostenhofer Hauptstraße
Motto: Women fight internationally, against crisis, war and capital!

From voting rights and bodily autonomy to pay equity – regularly on Feminist Fight Day, for over a hundred years important issues for women’s equality have been addressed, social disadvantages have been criticized, and people have fought together for a more just society.
To reflect the fact that this day is more about a fight for justice rather than simply ‘honoring’, today it is often referred to as a Fight Day rather than the original ‘Women’s Day’.
In addition, name adaptations such as ‘Women*’s Day’ or ‘Feminist Fight Day’ now more distinctly include FLINTA+ people who may not find themselves represented in rigid binary gender systems or are intersectionally affected by discrimination and misogynist structures due to additional factors.
