On March 8, the streets of Prishtina were filled with voices of protest and solidarity during the traditional march “We March, We Don’t Celebrate!”, organized by the collective “We March, We Don’t Celebrate!” under the motto “For a Life with Dignity.”

On International Women’s Day, women, girls, men, and activists took to the streets to demand equality, safety, and social justice. This march was a reminder that March 8 is not merely a symbolic celebration, but a day of protest and resistance against the inequalities that continue to affect women’s lives.

We marched and protested against gender-based violence, economic discrimination, inequalities in the labor market, unpaid women’s work, and the exclusion of women from decision-making processes.

We called for a society where women’s bodies, work, and lives are neither controlled, exploited, nor devalued.

In feminist solidarity, we raised our voices for women facing oppression and wars across the world – from Kosovo to Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Ukraine, and beyond. Freedom and dignity cannot be partial: our liberation remains incomplete without the freedom of all.
