#8M2020: Neither chauvinism nor capitalism: equality and socialism
Declaration of the Socialist International League (LIS) on the occasion of the next 8 of March, International Day of Working Women.
A few days after the 8 of March, in dozens of countries on five continents are preparing strikes, marches and other mass actions within the framework of the fourth international women's unemployment. In a world convulsed, more prominence in Latin America, Middle East and France, the working class and peoples rebel against governments and capitalist regimes. In all these struggles women play an active role as part of the workers' movement and, with young people at the forefront, as protagonists of the new global wave of women's struggle began in 2015.
Other examples, evidenced by the Chilean faced police repression and spread to the world his performance against gender and institutional violence; Argentine who continue to struggle for legal abortion; French participating in the general strike against the reform anti-pensioner; Lebanese jogging on the popular rebellion against the corrupt regime; Iran to reject both US interference as the oppressive regime of mullah; Turkish resisting the official bill to legalize marriage between the rapist and raped minor; Palestinian repudiating the new and hypocritical "peace plan" imperialist-Zionist.
In its decline, this imperialist capitalist system and governments spread across the planet austerity plans, debt, looting and extractivismo; wars, migration crises and environmental destruction. We are facing a global offensive against all rights, including gender. For working women, we are doubly exploited, this implies higher unemployment, wage inequality, job insecurity and bullying bosses and bosses. all social policies are also cut, turn adjustment overload care tasks assigned to us and increases the levels of gender violence. Accomplices of that antiderechos offensive are the reformists of capitalism, the union bureaucracies and religious domes.
This new 8M is a great opportunity to reaffirm the streets the strength of women and the need to confront this capitalist system, inhuman by nature and father of all violence, to advance a radically opposite direction: equality and socialism. Is that as the ruling class benefits from women's unpaid housework, to eradicate the oppression of women is necessary to combat and defeat the capitalist system that sustains. So in the feminist movement and gender-generic dissidence, class is poly, We fight in unit demand for each partial action and simultaneously urge output Socialist background, revolutionary and internationalist.
A 8 of March, does 103 years, Petrograd textile workers came out to defend their rights and thereby ignited the spark of the Russian Revolution, that brought power to the working class for the first time in history. In the epic remember that, and we reaffirm that it is impossible to obtain economic achievements, democratic, without significant social and political participation of women, Nor is it possible to conquer our full emancipation without a sheet of anti-capitalist and socialist path with the workers and youth. With that conviction, among other claims demand:
For working women, gender equality in wages and access to employment.
Against gender violence and femicide, emergency budget control women's organizations. comprehensive sex education, with gender and sexual diversity.
abortion Legal, safe and free. In countries where it already governs this right, no restrictions. Free Birth Control. Combating trafficking networks and pimping and its state under, and social reintegration plans for victims. Employment alternatives for those who wish to leave prostitution and social rights to sex workers. Full equality of rights for the LGBTI community +. Cupo trans labor. Socialization of domestic law and work to retirement is not applicable where. Double school day and opening early childhood gardens, eaters, laundries and community nursing home quality.
secular state. Cancel all privileges and public subsidies to religious institutions and religious education and private. Not religious fundamentalism.
Faced with this new 8 of March, so, from the LIS summon all committed activism in defense of the rights of women and dissidence, especially youth, to share these flags of struggle and we invite you to join our ranks to fight collectively, as Rosa Luxemburg said, "For a world where we are socially equal, humanly different and totally free ".
