La demanda de una huelga mundial liderada y controlada por mujeres se fraguó entre
feministas, sindicalistas y activistas en la Asamblea General de los Pueblos , celebrada en 2015 en Nueva York. Desde entonces, los llamados se han expandido así como el apoyo a esta causa: en 2017, el
Llamado Global de las Mujeres por la Justicia Climática respaldó la petición por las huelgas globales de mujeres el 8 de marzo.
Este llamado para una Huelga Mundial de Mujeres el 8 de marzo de 2020 ha sido lanzado por Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development (APWLD), una red líder de organizaciones feministas y activistas de grupos de base en la región de Asia Pacífico. Los 248 miembros de APWLD representan a grupos de mujeres diversas de 27 países de Asia Pacífico.
