It’s one minute for one woman, yet a shared, worldwide scream for women* everywhere.
Global Scream is a political action created by artist Anna Krenz — for International Women’s Day as well as for other protests supporting the rights of women* and minorities. At its core is an individual or collective scream (simultaneous when done together), exactly one minute long.
No matter your nationality, location, gender, or beliefs — anyone can join this symbolic act that connects local and global struggles.
Global Scream is the scream of a woman — born from anger, rage, grief, and maybe even joy. Every one of us knows these emotions, even if the reasons differ. And every one of us can scream. We don’t need to speak the same language to become one collective voice.
The action builds on Gina Birch’s 1977 film “3 Minute Scream” — but here, the focus shifts from the individual to the power of the collective experience.
Global Scream uses the hashtags: #GlobalScram, #AufschreiGlobal, #GlobalnyKrzyk, #ElGritoGlobal

Women* of the world take over!
Original Song: Ivor Cutler,1983
Women* of the World, take over! Cause if you don‘t, the world will come to an end, and it won’t take so long!
New lyrics: Bernadette La Hengst & Chor der Statistik 2025
Women* of the world: go striking!
you need to tell the world
enough is enough,
so don’t wait too long!
Frauen* an die Macht, erobert
Euch diese Welt, sonst wird
sie bald untergehn, also wartet nicht lang!

A symbolic form of strike for people and countries where striking is forbidden or not possible. An artistic action by Anna Krenz, introduced to the Frauenstreik in Germany in 2019.
#IchStreike consists of sitting on a chair in a public space – preferably in a less obvious location – or in an office or at home. A sign with the hashtag #IchStreike is placed on the back of the chair. The action can be performed alone or in a group, and symbolically represents taking time for oneself – reading, talking, drinking a glass of wine. “It is your time, it is your strike.” #IchStreike.

Across the world, WOMEN* are joining forces to push back against violence, exclusion and toxic power structures and to build lives grounded in care, justice and autonomy. This energy is growing towards the GLOBAL WOMEN* GENERAL STRIKE
Before March, 9, 2026: A powerful way to prepare is to create space, opening our kitchens and living rooms, gathering around food, and turning everyday spaces into places of feminist reflection, questioning and organising.A simple format you can use or adapt:
Host a Potluck Dinner – Create a Space for Conversation
Choose a date, invite your friends, neighbours, colleagues — WOMEN* you trust and want to think with. Ask everyone to bring something to share (food, drinks, or simply their presence). The aim is low-threshold, warm and collective. Dedicate a short facilitated moment during the evening to explore a shared question: What do we think about a the GLOBAL WOMEN* GENERAL STRIKE? Does a strike resonate? What forms of protest, care, refusal, or visibility feel right? What could we, as a small community, contribute to a global movement?
Practise Feminist Spacemaking
By opening your kitchen, you’re reclaiming everyday spaces as feminist spaces.Places where we can meet, listen, imagine, get angry, laugh, and begin to organise. This is how movements grow: from the inside out, from the local to the global. Ask each other: What is your “ENOUGH”? What must change? What are we tired of? What do we refuse? Naming this together can spark ideas for collective action.Feel free to adapt, remix and circulate this format. And connect it to the global campaign: enoughgenug.org/de
Melodies for billions* “I want, I dare, I can”
What would be SUPER nice: There should be ONE song. One that EVERYONE can sing.
An anthem. There could be MANY songs that everyone can sing. MANY anthems!
Who will do it? YOU and then WE.
Write the lyrics that should be heard around the world. Compose the melodies that will make them sing. Write them down or record them so that everyone can read them or sing along right away. And then let everyone know EXACTLY WHERE and WHEN on March 9th we’ll be singing, so that everyone can get in the mood now.
Because where people sing…
What we don’t have ENOUGH of yet: Songs from all over the place. To sing along.
>> Are there already loud, rousing, and uplifting songs that can be sung well and by many people outside? Because that would be right. So that the air is made to vibrate. And my singing on the other side of the world might just be heard…
>> Shall we write more? Or shall we mix everything up? Those who can, can. tanjakrone.de • Songs of (in)security • Singing with real people – a guide.

Grab a hammock – a portable piece of paradise,
and find yourself a suitable place.
Hang it up, climb in, and let gravity do the rest.
Hang out – in public or in private,alone or with your friends!
Take the whole day off. Escape the system!
Do absolutely NOTHING, nothing at all!
Just hang out, and see what happens.
fact: a person at rest only needs about one-tenth of the energy we burn when we rush, stress or exert ourselves. Depending on body weight, metabolism, and daily exploits, a person in a relaxed state exhales about 460 g of CO₂ per day, but in full speed mode, about 5.59 kg.
Now multiply that by 8.2 billion people in the world (2025):
Relaxed humanity: 460 g × 8.2 billion = 3.772 million tons of CO₂.
Stressed humanity: 5.59 kg × 8.2 billion = 45.838 million tons of CO₂ per day.
So if you do absolutely nothing for a whole day, you can easily reduce your carbon footprint by around 10%.
Imagine: if only women*, roughly half of humanity slowing down, breathing easier, and reducing CO₂ emissions together—simply by refusing to exaggerate everything.
And there’s more: a world full of more relaxed people could also be a world with fewer destructive impulses, fewer conflicts, and lower costs for security forces, the military, and burnout treatment.
Rest in hammocks – there are worse things. Christin Lahr, 2025
A film by Pamela Hogan and Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir
On October 24, 1975, a historic event took place in Iceland: the women’s strike against inequality. Ninety percent of all women stopped working. In this animated documentary by Pamela Hogan and Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir, women tell their stories — many for the first time — about life in 1970s Iceland, their fight for equality, and the strike that changed everything. The powerful story that has already inspired similar women’s strikes in Spain, Switzerland, and Poland in 2018. The film was released on the 50th anniversary of the original strike; it is both a documentary and a call to action, showing how the collective power of women transforms societies.
Don’t miss this wonderful film, show it whenever and wherever you can!

Here in Afghanistan, the situation is extremely difficult. Even the smallest act of protest can put women at risk. Recently, the new Twitter features that expose account locations have made things even more complicated and dangerous. What once felt like a safer way to connect now carries new threats.
Despite this, I believe we can still find ways to join in solidarity. For March 9, 2026, I imagine actions that are symbolic but safe: small gatherings in private spaces, reading poems or singing songs, releasing balloons or writing messages, and sharing short videos or photos where possible. These gestures may seem modest, but together they can carry strength and visibility.
What matters most is that we feel connected that women across the world know they are not alone. Even if our voices cannot always be loud in public, they can still join the global chorus of ENOUGH! Sara
I look forward to learning from others’ strategies and contributing what is possible from here. Together, across borders and circumstances, we can make this strike a testament to women’s resilience and power.
