Unions and feminist groups in the continental Basque Country have joined a feminist strike in the French State on 8 March and the strike has been carried out in three areas: paid work, care and consumption. All the unions have joined the call of the feminist movement and have gone on strike throughout the day, in the afternoon they have made a demonstration in Baiona. In the chronicle of Jenofa Berhokoirigoin, a multitude of demands have been heard: the end of the wage gap, the protection of public services and the end of privatizations, the recognition and fair distribution of care, the conditions to guarantee the right to abortion, absolute freedom for LGBTQI people, the end of systemic violence against disabled people, the end of sexist violence....
Thousands of citizens have claimed the right to custody on the street and have recalled that the only way to achieve this right for all is to mobilise it. They have also talked about the custodial pact being developed by the Basque Government and called for guarantees that custody will be for everyone: "If you do not talk about being public, if you do not talk about ending privatisation and do not talk about ending the Aliens Act, we are not going anywhere."

In addition to the right to surveillance, other specific issues and problems related to violence have been reflected in each place, as reported by the chronicle of Maite Asensio in Berria. For example, that of the oppressed and heraldic in Palestine (Villabona, among others), that of women suffering machista violence (in Baiona, among others), that of trans and non-heteronormative (in San Sebastian, among others), the stigma and infantilization suffered by prostitutes (in Vitoria, among others), the feminist justice (in Pamplona).
Police violence has been reported in Villabona, recalling that the Ertzaintza has wounded six people in recent weeks. They denounce that the action of the Ertzaintza is in line with the prevailing male model and transfer "hug from the feminist movement" to Xuharri and his family.
Songs and verses were also published:
