The Women's strike 24 October 2025

Time's up

Fifty years have passed and the fight is not over. Reports of violence have increased, the gender pay gap gets wider and the division of labour at home is unjust. Equality is not on the horizon. 

That’s why we strike! We seek inspiration from the women and non-binary people that paved the way, as we walk through the milestones of the history of the fight for equality. Then we gather in solidarity by Arnarhóll or around the country. We are going to change society — together. For us. For women and non-binary individuals. For the future. Nothing can stop us.

Women's History March

- Marching through the Milestones

The fighters of the past have set the course forward and made the milestones again and again. But with every step forward, we are forced to backtrack once again. To commemorate the 50 year anniversary of the first Icelandic Women’s Strike, we invite you to participate in a march through the history of the fight for equality. Get inspired by the achievements of the past. The Women’s History March starts in Sóleyjargata at 2 PM and ends at Arnarhóll, where we’ll gather for an outdoor meeting.

Outdoor Meeting at Arnarhóll

We'll show up until we don't have to anymore. 

We unite by Arnarhóll to reiterate our demands. Music, speeches and the power of solidarity — This is a global event, that you cannot miss.
