25-N: women's journey to 8-M
Women around the world took to the streets to demand the cessation of sexist violence and patriarchal. Remember the Mirabal sisters: Minerva, Patricia and Maria Teresa '' Butterflies '', whose murder by order of Dominican Republic dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo in 1960 motivated to be declared International Day against violence against women 25N.
The day of action laid bare the unstoppable force of the feminist movement, as thousands of women and increasingly men, we went out to fight for our rights throughout the State Spanish. We have done so with clear slogans: ‘’Not one less "and “No means no'', It has also been present the case of the "herd" and other major claims. In Madrid, It was a great mobilization Sunday, in which we again fill the Puerta del Sol.
The day of action laid bare the unstoppable force of the feminist movement…
Women in Murcia won the streets against machismo as It was reflected in some media, before the great feminist demonstration. From Juntas and to the left we are in the days leading up to organize with fellow. He 25, we had a colorful and combative presence: we paint our faces lilac, we sing our feminist version of "Bella Ciao", well we put up the posters we had done and our flags. And we sympathize with the Nicaraguan feminists struggle against repression, political prisoners and injustice Ortega-Murillo.
In Barcelona we mobilized by feminist groups and Marea Verde, highlighting the struggle in Argentina, Latin America, Andorra and other countries for legal abortion, safe and free. A) Yes, We returned to join together with millions of feminists who demonstrated around the world face the great challenge ahead: make a gigantic strike women, care and consumption on 8-M.
The truth is that people have many reasons to take to the streets en masse, because so far this year we 45 murdered (According to official data of the Ministry of Equality) Y 89 according to the count of femicidio.net, which takes into account the victims outside the partner or former partner.
…building an anti-capitalist feminism, anti patriarchal and internationalist to turn around.
In addition to this, patriarchal see as justice continues to fail against us: the same court that freed the members of the 'herd' condemnation recently 10 months in prison for “occasional abuse” a man accused of trying to strangle his wife in front of their children three to six years. Every week we regret some sad news, and we are tired.
We must be clear who is our enemy in this fight: the capitalist and patriarchal system, that exploits, oppresses us, precarious our lives and kill us. The characteristics of the fourth wave we are experiencing drive us to the need to give continuity to the feminist struggle, and not only on a national basis, but by supporting the claims of the movement internationally.
From Juntas and to the left we need to continue to build an anti-capitalist feminism, anti patriarchal and internationalist to turn around; we proposed to do. We invite you to walk together to achieve.
