The Feminist Workshop (Феміністична Майстерня) reports on its activities in 2025. If we were asked to describe this year in one word, we would say 'intense'! A year full of ideas and light that no one can extinguish or dim. With the best people by our side. With big ambitions and small daily efforts to gradually and confidently achieve our goals: to help, defend, change and act. So, let's remember the highlights of the year. Discover the victories, expectations and hopes in the article (…)

Nous vivons une tempête. Elle n'est ni nouvelle ni passagère. C'est la tempête du capitalisme, de l'impérialisme, du patriarcat et des États qui administrent la mort tout en parlant d'ordre, de stabilité ou de sécurité. Dans cette tempête, ceux d'en haut se disputent les territoires, les ressources et le pouvoir ; ceux d'en bas engagent leurs corps, leurs vies, leurs peurs et leurs espoirs. En Iran, aujourd'hui, cette tempête frappe avec une violence particulière. Le peuple iranien s'est (…)

Statement from groups, collectives, and individuals, from different corners of the world, expressing resistance and rebellion. -------------------- FOR THE LIFE AND DIGNITY OF THE PEOPLE OF IRAN We are living through a storm. It is neither new nor fleeting. It is the storm of capitalism, imperialism, patriarchy, and states that administer death while speaking of order, stability, and security. In this storm, those at the top fight over territories, resources, and power; those at the (…)

Ces élections marquent une nouvelle étape dans la tentative de la junte de légitimer la répression dans le pays tout en stabilisant son autorité au-delà des frontières. Ce dimanche marque le dernier tour des élections générales en trois phases au Myanmar, mais celles-ci ne ressemblent guère à un scrutin démocratique. Organisées dans un contexte de guerre civile brutale, elles se sont déroulées avec un résultat largement prédéterminé. Le Parti de la solidarité et du développement de l'Union (…)

Lebanese socialist academic and thinker Gilbert Achcar spoke to bianet about the attacks targeting Syrian Kurds, the emerging “new order” in the Middle East, and the roles of the US, Turkey, and Israel in this new framework. A final agreement on military and administrative integration was reached on Jan 30 between the Syrian Interim Government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The agreement includes provisions for a ceasefire, the gradual unification of military and administrative (…)

“The idea that Jamaat-e-Islami has transformed since the July uprising has not withstood the harsh test of reality. The killings, rapes, and sexual violence of the past year and a half have made it painfully clear: ideologically, Jamaat remains where it always was.” After the July uprising, a wave of political turbulence swept through Bangladesh. One significant aspect of this moment was the widespread discussion about a possible “transformation” within Jamaat-e-Islami. A political force (…)

Syria's soaring electricity prices are deepening daily hardship and exposing how the government's economic strategy is failing the masses, writes Joseph Daher. A local resident holds a placard as she takes part in a protest against the soaring electricity prices, in front of the Ministry of Energy in Damascus on January 29, 2026. [GETTY] Following last October's announcement from the Syrian government that there'd be a rise in electricity prices, the recent implementation of the new (…)

En fait, le Conseil du travail de Nuremberg aurait dû se prononcer dès le 9 janvier sur une injonction provisoire qui aurait permis à Isabella Paape, déléguée du personnel et membre du syndicat IG Metall, d'accéder à nouveau aux locaux de l'entreprise et à l'intranet. Elle avait été licenciée sans préavis en novembre, sans motif, et s'était vu interdire l'accès à l'entreprise. De toute évidence, l'approche des élections professionnelles n'y est pas pour rien, tout comme la volonté de (…)

President Donald Trump continues ICE raids, arrests of journalists, and seizing election records, as the public turns against him. All of this is about the mid-term election in November, which Republicans could lose. Photo : Day of Truth & Freedom, Downtown Minneapolis, January 23. (Lone Shaull CC BY 4.0) Tens of thousands protested Trump's immigration policies this past weekend after the murder of two U.S. citizens by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. There were (…)

Israel's restrictions on shelter and medicine have left displaced families helpless as newborns succumb to exposure and preventable disease. Assad Abdeen carries the body of his one-month-old son, Saeed, who died of cold exposure, in Al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, December 18, 2025. (Doaa Albaz/Activestills) Last week, Mohamed Abu Jarad returned to his tent in Gaza City's Al-Daraj neighborhood to find his three-month-old daughter, Shaza, freezing cold and no longer breathing. The (…)

As settlers set homes ablaze and looted livestock across three villages for over five hours, Israeli soldiers blocked ambulances, arrested victims, and even took part in beatings. This is how it unfolded. On the evening of Jan. 27, Israeli settlers launched one of the most devastating pogroms on the Palestinian communities of Masafer Yatta in recent memory, attacking three villages simultaneously with what appeared to be an unprecedented level of coordination with the Israeli army.
