A national mobilization called World with women is urging women to pause their professional and domestic roles on October 13, 2026, to highlight their vital contributions to society. Women, who perform the majority of unpaid labor, care for children, and manage household duties, are often underrepresented in positions of power. The movement argues that women remain largely absent from decision-making processes, where future policies are shaped. World with women seeks to advocate for the general interest, women's rights, balanced power, and a more just and sustainable future. The movement draws inspiration from the 1975 mobilization in Iceland, where women staged a nationwide strike to protest gender inequality. At the time, women made up only 5% of Iceland’s parliament and earned about 60% of what men earned. On that day, 90% of Icelandic women stopped working and performing domestic tasks, bringing daily life to a halt. This action led to significant progress in gender equality, and today, Iceland is widely regarded as one of the most egalitarian countries in the world. In France, World with women is gaining momentum as concerns about gender equality grow. According to recent data, at the current rate of progress, it will take another 300 years to achieve political equality between women and men and 134 years for economic equality. This has spurred the creation of 28 local committees, with over 200 supporters and planned gatherings in cities across France, including Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nantes, and Aix-en-Provence. Prominent figures such as Marie-José Pérec and others are expected to participate. The 2026 edition of World with women will feature a major event in Paris, starting at 11:30 a.m. on the Place de la Bastille. A global minute of silence will precede the event to honor women who cannot participate due to work or other obligations. During the gathering, some participants will read the song of the Icelandic women from 1975 before repeating the Icelandic slogan, "I dare, I can, I do." The movement has already raised more than 100,000 euros through donations, showing strong public support.
