1st of May and Feminism

Januar 29, 2025

Capitalism and patriarchy form a symbiotic relationship in which they mutually reinforce each other. In the capitalist system, patriarchal structures push women into underpaid and precarious jobs, while patriarchy benefits from capitalism by exploiting women as cheap labour and undervaluing their work in the care economy.

INTERSECTIONAL WORK & SOCIAL CLUB

BIWOC* Rising is the first intersectional work & social club in Berlin and Germany. This safer space is exclusively for women, trans, inter and non-binary people who identify as Black, indigenous or of Colour! Through training programs, empowerment workshops, and a work-desk in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg, BIWOC* Rising is creating a new working culture – a working culture that transcends the white, homogenous, capitalist one that has been a core driver of gentrification and marginalization in Berlin.
