International Wages for Housework Campaign

Wages for Housework

1974 saw this campaign spread to Italy, then North America but also inspired other niches, such as Wages Due Lesbians (Now Queer Strike), the English Collective of Prostitutes and Black Women for Wages for Housework (Now Women of Colour in the Global Women's Strike). In 1984 WinVisible (women with visible and invisible disabilities) was founded in the UK as an autonomous organisation within the IWFHC. This is one example of how the Women's Liberation wave lead into more recent feminist campaigns as intersectional groups emerge to fight for specific needs.
