Those protests evolved into what we now recognise as International Women’s Day, and over the decades an ever-wider range of vital issues have become associated with that day, from reproductive rights and gender-based violence, to the fight for basic freedoms in Afghanistan and Iran. We are an organisation dedicated to promoting global feminism, achieving equal rights in every corner of the Earth, and ending the violence suffered by countless women and girls around the world on a daily basis. Well over a hundred years on from that Manhattan factory strike, it is a shocking fact that the women workforce of the global fashion industry and beyond still do not enjoy basic human rights. The Circle is a unique, global network supporting thousands of individual women and girls every year through our grassroots partners in countries such as Sri Lanka, Uganda, South Africa and the UK, but we also advocate for the global change that will make a difference to billions.
