Women's Fightback 31, Spring/Summer 2024.
The thread running through this edition of Women's Fightback is the state, and its capacity to coerce, oppress and harm. The prison system is a rough place at the best of times. But for pregnant women it is a living nightmare, and for newborns it can be deadly. Criminalisation is threatening our reproductive rights like never before. In Israel, state repression is unleashed on opponents of atrocities being committed in Gaza and teenagers refusing to serve in the military. In response to these attacks, we discuss abolitionism, and explore the debate over how the left engages with public sector workers who are, willingly or not, a part of the state machine.
We also bring you reports of the fight against sexism in the trade union movement; a story of anti-racist organising in the 1980s; reviews of feminist films and art exhibitions; and plenty of international reports and analysis from Belarus, Sudan, Ireland, Iran and more.
Beyond that, you will find a wealth of cultural criticism; an exhibition on feminist revolt; tales of Unwell Women and Genoa’s trans outcasts of the 1960s; dispatches from Mexico’s struggle for abortion rights and the fight for democracy in Hong Kong; feminist dissidents in Belarus, and much more. We hope you enjoy it!

This short pamphlet explains why trade unions should not be giving political and financial support to a newspaper which is not the "daily paper of the left" but the mouthpiece of the Communist Party of Britain (CPB). More online and buy: https://workersliberty.org/morningstar
The Morning Star is not an effective way for unions to gain support for their disputes and campaign. And the political cost of backing the Morning Sar is immense: in effect, presenting a vision of “socialism” in which the totalitarian police state of China is held up as desirable, military coups (as in Niger) are hailed as legitimate means of achieving progressive change, and nationalist illusions of “socialism in one country” are promoted as the way forward for Britain. And it’s not even true that the paper allows genuine debate on issues where there are differences on the left. -

Audio of the pamphlet: https://workersliberty.org/sak-pamphlet
Shapurji Saklatvala, revolutionary socialist, Indian nationalist and Labour's first BAME MP, was elected in 1922. Representing radical local and international workers' and anti-colonial struggles, he suffered ostracism, surveillance, imprisonment and exile from India to fight against capitalism, racism and imperialism: for working-class self-liberation. -
Activists from socialist organisation Sotsianiy Rukh in Ukraine and from the anti-war movement in Russia spoke at our Ideas for Freedom event this year, at a session on workers' solidarity with Ukraine. Comrades from Workers' Liberty who were part of an international labour movement and left solidarity delegation to Ukraine also reported back on their experience.
