8 March is International Women's Day, so naturally we got some songs on that theme here. From Turkish pop to South African hip-hop to US metal, everyone is fed up with patriarchy! There are 3 categories of songs up this month:

1) Of course, women singing about women's oppression/liberation. Classics like "Dead Men Don't Rape" by 7 Year Bitch & "U.N.I.T.Y." by Queen Latifah (pre-Cover-Girl-bullshit era), new stuff from Swedish punks Knugen Faller, folk songs from RAWA in Afghanistan, & more.

2) Men (or a song with both men & women) singing about the same subject -- not only it will take everybody to fully achieve elimination of women's oppression, it is certainly responsibility of men to help also! Including a track from AWESOME new album "Ihdâ'" by DAM, "Alhuriyeh Unthî (Freedom for My Sisters)".

3) Rebellious women singing about other topics -- if you really think women are equal, you must realise they have right to fight for more than just themself narrowly! Highlights include a pro-Palestine song in Hebrew by Israeli woman Chava Alberstein, Nina Simone, Naked Agression, etc.

BREAK THE CHAINS - UNLEASH THE FURY OF WOMEN AS A MIGHTY FORCE FOR REVOLUTION!
