temporeras: “Yes strawberries, but rights”
Huelva employers of physical assault, verbal and sexually workers. The state, absent.
On Sunday 17 more than two thousand women regained the streets, this time in Huelva, called by the Sindicato Andaluz de Trabajadores (SAT), CGT, CNT, Mujeres24H, Feminist coffee and other feminist groups in Andalusia. They denounced the situation of impunity experienced by temporary labor to sexual abuse and.
Workers are active in appalling conditions, They suffer attacks of all kinds and even leave the farms becomes difficult to denounce them.
Employers in the field act as feudal lords and the state does not perform adequate inspections intended work or the resources needed to respond to abuses. This is a serious problem that affects approximately 17.000 Moroccan women in Huelva and a 120.000 total.
Although there are agencies that make appeals to denounce, women do not have the means to do so. Many do not speak Castilian, no phone, or vehicles to assist the Civil Guard nor other institutions which are formal appeals. Even, when they manage to overcome these obstacles, the prosecutor takes a long time to “research”…
So exploitative employers pockets are filled money at the expense of women's work in extremely precarious conditions and abuse. Organisms look away or formally act.
Beyond the promises on gender equality, are the realities of those in power only devoted to the subject when you get some electoral revenue or reality imposes.
The complaint, the organization and mobilization of women is the only reinsurance to end impunity, achieving decent working conditions and an end to abuse and harassment.
For these reasons, it is necessary to continue to support the temporeras of Huelva, As we have done in cities where we replicate your claim. Each step shows that capitalism and patriarchy go hand in hand, so they must fall together. The struggle of women and the working class should be one to end exploitation and oppression.
