With the slogan "Suspensions and lay-offs at work, high costs at home: Women stand up facing the crisis", the womens organisation Pan y Rosas (Bread and Roses) has held a public meeting this afternoon remembering the International Womens Day in Corrientes Avenue, Buenos Aires city.

More than thousand working women, housewives and young female students have received with great enthusiasm a delegation of garlic working women from Mendoza province, womens committees from the car industry in Córdoba province and Massuh paper mill womens committee, who are struggling for their rights and against lay-offs and the closure. The unanimous demand was: "Those who have caused this crisis mustpay for it: capitalists, (anti-spam-(anti-spam-Bank))ers and landowners".

Andrea DAtri, national leader of the Partido de los Trabajadores Socialistas (Socialist Workers Party from Argentina) and promoter of Pan y Rosas, closed the meeting saying: The struggle for socialism, the struggle for a society liberated from wage slavery and from any form of oppression, its the only means that we, women, have to reach our real freedom, thus, its too our own struggle. Because we dont ask. We demand! Our right to bread but also to roses.
