FIFDH: When Unpaid Labour Goes on Strike

A timely forum on unpaid labour and feminist strikes, preceded by a screening of The Day Iceland Stood Still. Drawing on the historic 1975 women’s strike in Iceland, speakers explore how domestic, emotional and care work—so central yet so invisible—can become a site of political struggle, and question how collective mobilisation can be reimagined beyond traditional labour frameworks.

The discussion is interpreted in English; the film is in Icelandic and English, with French and English subtitles.
