We move towards the 8M together and organized
We have two months to finish preparing a powerful day worldwide. Vox in the media saying that gender violence should also include men, Justice reaffirming that members of "The Pack" should remain free, the government ignoring femicide. He 2019 She began showing, once again, it is necessary to be together and organized to end the patriarchal system.
Year 2018 He ended with the unfortunate and condemnable figure 97 women victims of femicide without doubt the murder of Laura Luelmo reopened in late December debates in Spanish society. For example, that of permanent prison revisable, that hides behind other important issues.
To begin addressing gender violence, we call the murders of women as they really are, femicidios. Unaware that kill us, We rape and attack us because the system remains live and oppression of one gender over the other, It makes when implementing policies and concrete measures the underlying causes are not resolved.
Vox is the most brutal expression of the attack on women, but not the only: the PP wants to go back to legal abortion and feminism Citizens reduces to a mere electoral issue.
The situation worsens when the extreme right starts to gain time in the media and seats in Parliament. Vox representatives in Andalusia require the Gender Violence Act be repealed and replaced by a Domestic Violence Act "that does not prejudge sex offender, properly respect the presumption of innocence, not ordain a huge bureaucracy 'gender’ and does not provide massive subsidies rain supremacist associations feminism.” This would only aggravate a situation which is necessary to provide an urgent response.
Vox is the most brutal expression of the attack on women, but not the only: the PP wants to go back to legal abortion and feminism Citizens reduces to a mere electoral issue. We must demand that the government of the PSOE to recognize oppression and inequality that we live with the laws imposed by the major parties, there is not enough parity laws and then not met and if the underlying problems are not recognized.
Assume what really happens imply start recognizing femicide and effective implementation of specific policies against gender violence. Regrettably, the Pact against Gender Violence, sanctioned 2018, It is insufficient to eradicate a problem that ends the life of women. Not only because of the limited budget allocated, but also because it falls short when it comes to typify the various forms of violence suffer daily.
All violence is punishable, but they are not all alike. Must be challenged institutions, and if they fail, collectively draw up the complaint.
Another debate concerns the permanent prison revisable. In this we are clear, every time a man commits sexist violence must provide a specific sentence, but besides being according to the type of damage must point to a profound transformation of society.
Sexual assaults that got criminalize are just the tip of the iceberg of social behavior. Long they constituted "the world" and their ways of understanding, a vision that women are disarming.
So you have to fight for justice, understanding that if someone incurs an abusive practice does not necessarily become a lifelong abuser if appropriate measures are taken. It is not the same a fact that repeated practice. All violence is punishable, but they are not all alike. Must be challenged institutions, and if they fail, collectively draw up the complaint.
Punitivity only proposes neutralize people by way of their confinement, elimination or social expulsion. But those policies were never last hand guarantee that decrease violence. Simply do with those who are the most ardent spokesmen for these penalties.
…we have the challenge of making forceful strikes and demonstrations, to paralyze the capitalist and patriarchal world.
In this context of debates and feminist struggles strength of the women's movement we started to prepare for the 8M. The next International Day of Working Women, we have the challenge of making forceful strikes and demonstrations, to paralyze the capitalist and patriarchal world. The strength of the fourth wave feminism will pass all borders.
For sure, the strike by women in the past 8M Spanish State marked a turning point. Mobilized millions of women across the country left a clear message: without women the world does not produce. Let the wave becomes a tsunami, the struggles and conquests extend and strengthen country to country.
From Boards and to the left we are participating in the various organizational bodies being made, because we must show that the sisters of Huelva, those of Andalusia and every corner of the state are not alone, We are millions mobilized and criticizing the patriarchal system. Together with each partner conducted an international campaign to support the 8M, as part of anti-capitalist Network. Collect your strength, Add your voice, do grow this wave, until patriarchy and capitalism fall together.
