Argentina: Declaration FIT Unit. 8 of March: Enough of adjustment and violence against women and dissidents. The state and governments are responsible

A square, two acts

capitalist crisis, that was exacerbated by the pandemic, particularly hits women around the world. Both conservative and so-called "progressive" governments, chose to prioritize the interests of pharmaceutical multinationals, finance large corporations and subsidize entrepreneurs while increasing precariousness, unemployment, poverty and the private health business is maintained. So this 8 of March, thousands of women, With our comrades in struggle we return to the streets to claim for our rights.

So far this year alone there have been at least 60 femicidios. And one year after the creation of the Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity, the situation not only did not change, but it gets worse. The announced “budget 13 times greater” than the previous government, represents in fact the 0,074% of the national budget. In the meantime, impunity grows and many of these femicides are carried out by personnel from the same repressive forces for which a large part of the budget voted in Congress goes: 1 decade 5 femicide has them responsible, even as in the case of Úrsula with up to 18 complaints. The police and justice are complicit in the cover-up and impunity. The most accurate sample was given by the governor of the province of Buenos Aires himself., Axel Kicilloff, together with Minister Berni. While the repudiation for the femicide of Ursula Bahillo at the hands of a Buenos Aires agent spread, they rewarded this force by guaranteeing more patrolmen, As before, they were guaranteed an increase in salaries and other benefits. That is why large sectors together with our cry of Ni Una Menos, enough of femicides, transvestite and hate crimes, We propose the "Out with Berni" and denounce the persecution and repression of those who come out to fight, with a clear orientation: the governments, the state, your police and justice are responsible.

In Argentina, the deterioration of our living conditions is categorical. In response, we are witnessing important struggles where women workers are protagonists, from their workplaces against dismissals and for working and salary conditions, and from the slums against hunger and for genuine work. We defend the struggle for the unity of the employed and unemployed working class.

Nurses and health workers are protagonists in this day of struggle. They, who leave their lives in their jobs in hospitals, in the fight for professional recognition and salary equal to the basic basket, without budget or inputs. Like the teacher workers, who fight for better conditions for the kids, while all governments open the doors of schools and force them to teach face-to-face classes without any security measures. Young people who face job insecurity are also protagonists, becoming a great example of struggle as happens with the workers of Just de La Matanza, Hey Latam and the workers of Apps. The same happens with female aeronautical workers who resist company closures as in LATAM or face precariousness and employer persecution as in GPS, the outsourced company of Aerolíneas Argentinas; in the ArreBeef refrigerator, where women lead a tough fight for their sources of income; in factories under worker management, such as Zanon in Neuquén or Madygraf in the northern zone of Greater Buenos Aires, among many other thousands of workers in struggle who will be part of the mobilization and the act that we will promote together with various organizations in Plaza Congreso.

Thousands of women from the piquetero movement who are fighting and winning the streets massively against hunger will also be present at this event., those who are in charge of the kitchens to assist the thousands of people who also fell into poverty, the Workers of Private Houses, those who assist women who suffer gender violence every day and also see how the State abandons them and protects the violent. This is what happened with the companions Esther Mamani and Emilse Gajes, who are part of the list of femicides that shake our country in this 2021. There will also be women from the various land takeovers, like those who led the fight for housing in Guernica, many of them victims of violence, who had to face state repression by Berni and Kicillof just for demanding something as basic as a place to live in the midst of the pandemic; the women of Los Ceibos and many others who demand decent housing. Together with the women of the poorest neighborhoods, we denounce that while the government does demagogy, they and their families still do not have access to the most basic, like the water, the food, the job, without infrastructure in their neighborhoods and having to guarantee food for their sons and daughters despite inflation and high rates.

In recent years and throughout the country, women and dissidents show the opposite of what the leaders of the union centrals do, who maintain total complicity with the government and the bosses while our living conditions worsen, the salary is increasingly enough for less and care tasks are multiplying inside and outside the home. The integration of feminism into state management, in which sectors of the women's movement called to trust, there is no way out of this reality. no government, Never, he gave us nothing. Our independent organization and confidence in our own fighting force: That is the path that we bet to deepen.

the national government, with the support of macrismo and all the bosses' opposition, imposed an adjustment budget and increased indebtedness with the IMF. The impact that this has on the lives of the working-class and popular majorities is also plain to see.. While millions are allocated to pay an illegitimate and fraudulent debt, to strengthen the Ministries of Security and the repressive forces, the government makes demagogy talking about our rights, without applying any policy that really changes the situation of women.

The force of the green tide, what in 2020 conquered legal abortion, today has new challenges to face the wave of femicides, job insecurity and the policy of the governments on duty and State institutions to condemn women and dissidents to miserable welfare income, even disguising them as "attention" to the "care policy" as the officials like to call.

While we continue fighting to guarantee the voluntary abortion won with the struggle, the organization and street mobilization a few months ago, together with the implementation of a scientific and secular ESI, to free contraception in all health centers, while we continue to demand the freedom of all prisoners for abortion, we have to stand up, like we did for legal abortion, a great movement to fight for the separation of the Church from the State and the repeal of all the decrees of the dictatorship that guarantee its financing and that of confessional education. with that same force, we have to build an unbreakable alliance with those fighting for jobs and housing and organize independently, no ties of any kind, so that the crisis is not paid for by the workers and our families.

For all this, It is 8 March from theLeft-Unity Front, together with the groups Juntas y a la Izquierda, Bread and Roses, Plenary of Workers and Isadora, we go out to the streets and saythe state and governments are responsible of femicides and all this reality that we women live, dissidents and our working families. That's why, We demand the union leaders of the CGT and CTAs to break with their truce and call for an active strike and mobilization for all our rights. we will march thousands, from Plaza de Mayo to the National Congress, where an action is called for our day of struggle. He 8 of March, because, there will be a Plaza and two acts. That of organizations linked to the national government, and ours, that we promote independently of the government, cardboard ministries, of the institutions of the State and of the bosses' parties that defend the interests of those who oppress and exploit us, those of us who fight against patriarchy and capitalism. A mobilization and an act where the fighters from different sectors and the girls of the green tide will be protagonists, so that our claim can be heard very loudly:

• Not one less. enough of femicides, trans/travesticides and hate crimes. Extraordinary and urgent budget to combat gender violence.
•  The governments, the state, its justice and its security forces are responsible. Dissolution of the repressive state apparatus. Election of judges and prosecutors with popular vote and revocable mandates.
• Simply setting, no to the payment of the fraudulent foreign debt. Down with the pact with the IMF. Silver for attention to gender violence, to health, the House, work and education and not for external debt.
• Enough of precariousness, labor flexibility and unemployment. Genuine work for all, Salary equal to the family basket.
• Let's support all the ongoing fights of healthcare workers on the front lines against COVID, especially to nurses in the fight for professional and salary recognition; to the teachers who fight for a safe return and salaries according to inflation; Aeronautical workers who face dismissals and union and employer persecution, to the workers of the Arrebeef slaughterhouse, by Hey Latam, GPS, Latam; to the women of the piquetero movement that is leading a massive plan to fight against government policies; to the brave women of Guernica and to all the processes of struggle for land, work and housing; to the Workers of Private Houses who have just starred in the first marches in the history of the most massive and precarious union of women in the country; to the women who fight together with their comrades to keep the workers' efforts up, as in Zanon in Neuquén and Madygraff in the northern zone of Greater Buenos Aires, among many others.
• We demand the effective application throughout the country of the law of voluntary interruption of pregnancy, free contraceptives in all health centers and Comprehensive Sexual Education with a gender perspective, scientific and secular at all educational levels.
• Separation of the Churches from the State. Down with the decrees of the dictatorship that guarantee its financing and that all governments supported and support.
• For a great wrestling move, organized and in the streets, independent of the governments of the day, of the parties that defend this social regime, of churches and state institutions, to conquer each and every one of our rights.
