On International Women's Day, hundreds of thousands of women took to the streets of Mexico on March 8 to affirm a rising rebellion against
sexual violence and femicide, a murder with a misogynist motive that occurs not only in Latin America today and daily. In Mexico City,
80,000 people, in the vast majority of women, marched from the Revolution Memorial at Zocalo (Constitution Square) along with anarchists and
other militants. No symbol of state or corporate power on this route was spared. ---- National Lottery Tower, Torre Prisma, Ministry of
Health and Social Affairs (Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado, ISSSTE), National Bank of Mexico,
statue of Charles IV. The Spanish, the Hilton Hotel, the Monument to the Revolution, and many other buildings have been the target of the
wrath of the oppressed women, beaten up by windows and walls sprayed with magnificent graffiti. The monument of Francisco Mader, a reformist
who built state power on the basis of the stolen revolutionary ideals, was smashed with hammers and painted with pink, red and purple graffiti.

A government limousine and a fire truck were demolished in the Constitution Square. The minibus was overturned and painted next. The gate of
the National Palace, the seat of the Mexican President, was glazed with red paint and covered with molot. Farther away, a campfire was built
from the stalls obtained from a state-sponsored "feminist" concert. Happy and revolutionary women were dancing around the campfire. Instead
of a huge national flag on a flagpole in the middle of the square, a black banner of resistance took hold.

There were also inconsistent moments. Some state-of-the-art demonstrators defamed militant tactics, condemned the destruction of property,
and sometimes even stood between protesters and symbols of power. Hard-grain Catholics gathered together with the neo-Nazis outside the gate
of the Metropolitan Cathedral to pill abortions, which, of course, could not have been done without a dresser. Other opportunists have tried
to use female anger to strengthen state hegemony and the penal code.

On the following day, March 9, he was declared "a day without women", which means nothing more than a proven strike. Women and girls did not
come to school or work to protest the everyday violence against women and to make it clear that Mexican society was out of work and
involved. The streets, buses, offices and workshops of the twenty million metropolis of Mexico City remained unusually empty.

In recent weeks, various political parties, banks, corporations and institutions have tried to exploit the growing feminist dissent. They
issued emptied statements in support of some feminist demands and gave their subjects permission to participate in strike and march. A few
days before the strike, some banks and corporations announced that workers would be given extra leave on March 9 as if they might be
interested in liberating women. Meanwhile, the government was embarrassed to support the marches of freedom of expression and democratic
debate, while condemning the "masked" protesters as provocateurs trying to harm the protests.

One thing is clear. All reformist, procapitalist, state-forming, left-wing, right-wing and center groupings seeking to take advantage of
women's outrage adhere to the need to maintain calm and nonviolence. Protests are allowed as long as they obey the laws, people peacefully
ranks in ranks and, through their demands, strengthen the structure of state power. Only time will tell what the growing wave of female
emancipation in Mexico will bring. Yet, it seems that the courageous actions of feminists, anarchists and other militant women in direct
confrontation with the institutional demands of harmless peaceful protests and dialogue with the state power are frightening to elites and
conservative parts of society.

Two years of President Piñera's mandate is completed under a right-wing government attached to neoliberal policies, which has responded to
the lack of political management of social demands and the popular uprising with repressive measures: anti-looting law, critical
infrastructure safeguard law , anti-hooded law, anti-barricade law, curfews, state of emergency, making statements alluding to a context of
"war", etc., laws that seek to judge through bourgeois justice the mechanisms of workers' struggle / as of the popular youth and that seeks
to repress / criminalize popular protest. ---- Regarding the convening of the "Santiago Social Unity table" after eleven minutes of national
strike, it seems like a JOKE. ---- Today Wednesday March 11, 2020 marks the two-year term of President Sebastián Piñera Echenique under a
right-wing government attached to neoliberal policies, which has responded to a lack of political management of social demands and popular
uprising with repressive measures: law anti looting, critical infrastructure safeguard law, anti hooded law, anti barricade law, curfews,
state of emergency, making statements alluding to a context of "war", etc., laws that seek to judge through bourgeois justice the mechanisms
of struggle of the workers, of the popular youth and that seeks to repress / criminalize popular protest.

In addition, it is worth noting the insufficiency of measures that the government has taken in its social agenda, which include: pensions,
health and medicines, minimum income, decrease in electricity rates, taxes for the higher income sectors, reduction of the parliamentary
diet, plan of reconstruction and the plebiscite of April twenty-sixth. At the end of the day, these measures continue to replicate the
neoliberal and market logic in pursuit of a pact that seeks social peace and the institutionalization of the popular uprising, a process
that is no stranger to opportunistic political parties that seek to profit from the municipal elections. for electoral purposes in the face
of hostility towards bourgeois institutional parties.

Regarding the convening of the "Santiago Social Unity table" after eleven minutes of a national strike, it seems to us a JOKE of bad taste
to isolate itself from social reality and from the profound transformations that social organizations have to carry out in the face of the
national situation , where the criminalization of popular protest has many minors, youth and adults in preventive detention in various jails
in the country. Is eleven minutes enough to reveal that? Are eleven minutes enough to protest the systematic violations of Human Rights?

Reasons to spare are what make us demonstrate as an organized people in each territory, commune, province, region, for as long as necessary,
demonstrating that the Chilean people are more united than ever against injustice, abuse, electoral opportunism, the inequality caused by
the neoliberal economic model that prevails in the country and the systematic violations by State agents of Human Rights (Carabineros de
Chile, Police of Investigations and the Armed Forces), in addition to endless violations of the dignity of the village.

As the Organized Anarchist Front[FAO]we call not to let go of the streets and to continue fighting for the recovery of social rights and
basic services looted and privatized at the cost of terror, blood and fire in dictatorship and prevailed by the current government.

FOR THE DIGNITY OF THE WORKING CLASS! UNION, ACTION, SELF-MANAGEMENT!.
OUT PIÑERA AND ITS GOVERNMENT OF 6%!
FREEDOM TO THE PRISONERS OF PEOPLE'S LIFT!
TOWARD THE GENERAL STRIKE!
FROM POPULAR RISE TO SOCIAL SELF-MANAGEMENT!
WITH OR WITHOUT CONSTITUENT, NOT TO RELEASE THE STREETS BY OUR PEOPLE!

Through the social revolution, the realization of the rights of working women can be ensured through equality! ---- A discussion meeting was
held at Sylhet Telihari Tea Garden at 3 pm today on the joint working of the National Workers Alliance of Bangladesh and Bangladesh
Enrico-Syndicalist Federation on International Labor Day Women's Day. Speaking on the occasion, Gon said, "We extend our best wishes and
best wishes to all the women of the world including Bangladesh." Today is International Women's Day. On this day, in the United States, in a
sewing factory, women workers were subjected to police torture when they made some specific demands related to their dignity, including
voting rights. German woman leader Clara Jetkin suggested that the day be celebrated as Women's Day. International Women's Day was
celebrated for the first time in various countries in the first five years. After 3 long years, the UN has declared Day 1 as International
Women's Day on March 9, a member of the United Nations. Countries have been officially celebrating Women's Day. Bangladesh is also a member
of the United Nations, which celebrates Women's Day on March 7, and pledges to establish socio-economic development and dignity of women.

Although the society has made considerable progress in the long course of the women's movement, the issue of gender equality has not yet
been fully established. This image is visible not only in Bangladesh but everywhere in the world. But the development of the country or
society depends on the overall contribution and participation of the people. That is, without the participation of half the population
(women) of society, desired development is not possible. In Bangladesh the participation of women in the state system and social activities
has increased; But it remains far below the altitude. Not only that, women's torture and deprivation could not be significantly reduced. The
women community of the country is still suffering from various kinds of family, social and state oppression. Deprivation of women workers in
the industrial field is a discussed issue. Dowry practices, child marriage, religious bigotry, dominance of male-centric attitudes in family
life, customs, The psychiatry of the mandate period is a major obstacle to the progress of women. The country is constantly trying to
overcome these. Various initiatives are being taken at the public-private level. But the traditional social image of the modern-day era
cannot be eliminated.

There is also a force against the dignity and social establishment of women. This powerless woman is accustomed to seeing her as a
commodity, leaving her behind the scenes. They also have the opportunity to mislead religious people. We have to deal with this weakness
efficiently. Prime Minister of the country, Leader of the Opposition in Parliament, Speaker, Opposition leaders outside the parliament - all
women. What could be a better positive condition for the development of women's society? Special emphasis has been given to the
political-social empowerment and participation of women in various national and international policies including the constitution of
Bangladesh. In order to establish the dignity and recognition of women in national life, the government has signed a number of international
policies and Charities, including the United Nations CDO Charter. Why are women still behind? Many countries have made considerable progress
in terms of gender equality. This is also possible in Bangladesh. There is a need for political goodwill and strong conviction for that
goodwill. Increasing public awareness and promoting modern education can be an important way of implementing the program.

This year, the United Nations has set the theme for the day: I Am the Generation of Equality: Women's Rights Implementation (I Am Generation
of Equality: Realizing Women's Rights). When such importance is being imposed on the implementation of women's equality and women's rights,
what is the status of women in Bangladesh?

Looking for the answer to this self-interest, we want to look at both sides of the coin.

In the first step, we see that the health and nutritional status of women and girls has improved a lot. Maternal and maternal mortality
rates decreased; The infant mortality rate has decreased, about half of them girls. Girls get the same rate as girls in primary school
admissions. The participation of girls in the later levels of education has also increased. Women's participation in economic activities has
also increased; Not only in the rural economy, the participation of women in various sectors including the industrial sector of the national
economy has increased. We now see many successful and creative women leaders in the entrepreneurial sector. All these achievements are made
possible through long and endless struggles.

But on the other side of the coin, we see that society's general attitude towards women is still discriminatory. The question of women's
safety has become more complex. The fragility of women has not diminished in relation to various types of violent crimes, including rape and
sexual abuse. In the past year, female rape has almost doubled in the country. The number has increased from 12 people to 5 thousand 5. The
feminist view of law acts as a barrier to proving rape crimes in court. The highly offensive tendency to doubt and expose the personal
character of rape victims hinders the proper application of the law. Apart from rape, murder after rape, there are various types of violence
against our women. 5 percent women are victimized in their own homes; About 5 percent of women are sexually assaulted in public transport.
In addition, the discrimination of women and men in relation to the rights of the family and inheritance law still exists. The Women's
Development Policy has been announced, But no implementation initiative was taken. Child marriage is decreasing all over the world, but
increasing in Bangladesh. According to UNICEF, the child marriage rate is 5 percent, although the government claims not to exceed 12 percent.

Despite this, the women community of Bangladesh is slowly moving forward. But there are still serious obstacles to their progress, which are
deeply rooted in our culture. Efforts are needed to increase the quality of education and to overcome those barriers through good
governance. The society has to be free from all forms of superstition, illiteracy and superstition. Emphasis should be placed on the
implementation of political, social and human rights of women. Despite the equal rights of men as citizens in paper-writing, women are
deprived in many respects; It has to be eliminated. If a woman is a victim of violent crime, legal provisions and institutional arrangements
must be implemented to get proper remedy. Otherwise, justice cannot be ensured for women who are victims of rape and other violence.

In the face of the many sexist violence it is essential to invest in education, including what is needed by legal operators, nowadays mostly
patriarchal, and also in prisons, where reintegration measures are lacking, so that they bet, for once, for something more than mere
repression And the punishment. ---- There are pandemics that have more notoriety than others and it seems that the pandemic generated by the
patriarchy virus never has enough charisma to occupy the front pages of the media with the continuity it deserves. Despite the dripping of
murders and rapes and the far-right offensive against feminist groups that work to prevent them and attend to victims, the media do not seem
to consider sexist terrorism to be a subject worthy of covers although, unfortunately, there are so many days when informatively it should
be like that.

According to data from Feminicio.net, so far this year there have been 20 femicides, 99 last year - 55 according to official data. Since
2010, the year in which this group began to document femicides in Spain, they have registered 1,106 women murdered by men. For the State,
according to its monthly statistical Bulletin of December 2019, the number of female fatalities between January 1, 2003 and December 31,
2019 has been 1,033. Anyway, use the figures that are used is a scourge, and not only in Spain.

There are pandemics that have more notoriety than others and it seems that the pandemic generated by the patriarchy virus never has enough
charisma to occupy the front pages of the media with the continuity it deserves.

The difference between the state calculation and Feminicidio.net is that they register all femicides, without leaving out the cases that do
not fit in the law of 2004: women unrelated to the aggressor, prostitutes, mothers, daughters, mother-in-law ... Something similar should be
done statewide according to the State Pact against Gender Violence, which incorporates the principles of the Istanbul Convention,
contemplating as a crime all forms of violence against women and including, in this case, all femicides outside the couple.

In Feminicio.net they have always taken into account cases such as Esther RP, 40, in Madrid, a sex worker murdered this week in Ciudad
Lineal at the hands of a man who shot her in the street. He was, according to police inquiries, a whore, although for one Luis F. Durán, a
journalist from El Mundo, who must be pulled away by the gender perspective and who is an example of what NOT to do By covering these
issues, he was a "man in love with women." She, if it turns out, would not be an official figure today, as it has no place in the
Comprehensive Gender Violence Act  of 2004, since it only recognizes couples or ex-partners. The State Pact against gender violence aims to
amend, among other issues, that.

A violence that are many
But, beyond this scandalous and dramatic reality, macho terrorism, remember, is nothing more than the cusp, the tip of the iceberg of
patriarchal violence. Because "not only the blows hurt," as feminist activist Pamela Palenciano explains with her own body - censored by the
right, by the way - there is much more: violence can be physical, verbal, sexual, economic, judicial, obstetric , labor, social, media,
advertising ... can be primed, in addition to women, daughters and sons. It allies with classism and racism, with homophobia and
heterosexism, transphobia, gordophobia, plumophobia, capacitism ...

Macho terrorism is nothing more than the cusp, the tip of the iceberg of patriarchal violence.

All the violence that we call "gender" or, better, "sexist" or "sexist" have in common something essential: they are violence against women
simply because they are. Enabled by a binary and hierarchical ideology, the patriarchal, which is already itself violent and a process of
subjectivation and socialization that fosters relations of exploitation and domination by converting the body into a class mark.

Patriarchal (in) justice
Sexist violence intensifies with (in) patriarchal justice: the Judiciary of the Kingdom of Spain needs, without going any further - that we
could, because the problem is planetary -, a set-up accompanied, perhaps, by sanctions if you are They become necessary. It would be
necessary a mandatory training of the judges and judges - and of all the operators involved in the process of reporting violence - according
to the sentences we have been acquainted, starting with that of "La Manada". Likewise, it would be convenient to create a Surveillance
Commission with a gender perspective in the General Council of the Judiciary.

Only with a more efficient system can one avoid the fear of denouncing that grips many women - only one in five women denounces gender
violence, not to mention rapes - who fear being victimized and blamed, and not without cause. Also, when there is damage when there is no
justice, there must be reparation: the State must not only deal with orphanhood for crimes of gender violence but should respond by bad
praxis  of its operators something that, in fact, is not being done , for example, in the case of girls and boys who remain in the custody
of their mother's abusers.

Only with a more efficient system can one avoid the fear of denouncing that grips many women, who fear being victimized and blamed, and not
without cause.

On the other hand, relevant changes in the Immigration law and related regulations would be necessary, since they prevent migrant women from
denouncing, when they should enjoy special protection by being, normally, more alone, without the social network that is usually used.
arrange at the place of birth.

No to punitive populism: prevention ... and repair
The right and the extreme right are determined to take the issue of violence to punishment, especially violators: they seek to attend to the
palliative - and electoralist - instead of going to the root. However, a good part of feminism rejects that punitive vision and demands more
measures in education, the only way to guarantee a future with less violence. Spain is one of the EU countries with the lowest crime rate
and yet one of the highest incarceration rates in the eurozone. The prison is rather a shredder that does little or nothing, we know, the
goal of reintegration.

Law 1/2004, of December 28, on Comprehensive Protection Measures against Gender Violence says, in its article 42, that «the Penitentiary
Administration will carry out specific programs for inmates convicted of crimes related to gender violence». It therefore obliges the
Penitentiary Administration to carry out specific programs for inmates, but they only exist in 50 centers out of a total of 164 and that,
according to Penitentiary Institutions, crimes of gender violence are the third cause of imprisonment. Apparently, there are waiting lists,
so the problem comes from the state rather than from the convicted - they can get benefits from these programs.

In 2018, only 30% of those convicted of gender-based violence were forced by the judges to pursue reeducation programs to avoid entering
prison, but most did community service work.

On the other hand, the judges also do not seem to pay too much attention to reintegration because in 2018, only 30% of those convicted of
gender-based violence were forced by the judges to pursue re-education programs to avoid entering prison, but most did jobs of community
service: the usefulness of cleaning local facilities to reintegrate into issues of sexist violence is a dubious issue and the data indicates
that this issue should be given more importance rather than tightening penalties.

But on the right, punitive populism serves as propaganda for its more justifiable voters and to hide, in addition to its zero interest in
educational issues, its refusal to invest in prevention and reparation, is the essential implementation of means to improve the situation of
attacked and violent women and their sons and daughters. House, temporary financial endowments, jobs ... It is very important that the woman
is not in a precarious situation when reporting.

Solidarity and feminist power
Although we share a lot of pain and anger, the work done by feminisms in the streets has allowed us to generate feminist power in the face
of patriarchal victimization. There is feminist power in the internationalist cry against the violence of "The rapist is you", in women who
work in self-defense and refuse to be intimidated by a culture that wants us locked up at home and alone, or in solidarity, both in sorority
as the fellowship with feminist allies. Because, beyond what the State can do, the essential thing is that we accompany each other - women
side by side with trans women, queer women, of fluid gender ... - and that male partners fight daily macho behaviors.

Although we share a lot of pain and anger, the work done by feminisms in the streets has allowed us to generate feminist power in the face
of patriarchal victimization.

In the streets we will see each other, melee, on March 8. CNT will march in the libertarian bloc but together with the common cry: With
rights, without barriers, feminists without borders!

On Tuesday, March 10, the Poznan City Council adopted the introduction of drastic increases in MPK ticket prices, which are to come into
force on July 1. The increase is expected to be 20-30%. Many organizations and communities protested against the resolution. President Jacek
Jaskowiak and the majority of PO councilors rejected all objections and alternative projects. ---- During the council meeting, the recently
raised informal coalition "Stop MPK ticket price increases", which included the Poznan Inter-Enterprise Workers' Initiative Commission, the
Anarchist Federation of Poznan, the Koalicja ZaZielen Poznan, Extinction Rebellion Poznan and Total Poznan, protested against the decision
on the increase. First of all, two arguments were pointed out. First of all, the increase in prices may mean an increase in car traffic and
is a step backwards in the city's environmental policy. Secondly, the increase in prices will hit the people with the lowest material status
the most. It was also emphasized that the introduction of tariff changes takes place without wider public consultation.

Against increases in ticket prices next to the abovementioned the organization was also supported by Citizens' Dialogue Commission at the
Faculty of Environmental Development and Protection of the Poznan City Hall or the City Council of Seniors. The voice of these official
opinion and consultation bodies was also completely ignored.

At a sack meeting of the council, Councilor Pawel Sowa (Right to the City) and PiS presented their counter-proposals. Sowa emphasized the
need to freeze ticket prices for Poznan residents and expand MPK's customer base and increase the number of taxpayers paying PIT in the
city. Above all, however, he showed in his presentation that in other agglomerations (Gdansk, Kraków) transport policy goes in the
completely opposite direction - maximizing the availability of public transport services while maintaining an appropriate level of
investment and quality of services rendered. In other words, he pointed out that there are other solutions than those proposed by Jaskowiak.

The Poznan Board and PO were closed to all arguments. They did not even respond to the appeal to continue the debate and postpone the
decisions, thinking about it thoroughly. Defending the resolution, Wojciech Kreglarski from the Civic Platform (and chairman of the
Committee on Transport and Housing Policy) repeated over and over that there was a need to "close" the budget and raise PLN 15 million.
President Jacek Jaskowiak followed him.

The problem is that the increase in ticket prices does not have to automatically translate into an increase in inflows to the city coffers,
on the contrary - it can cause travelers outflow and greater financial losses. Although - as city officials argued - the ticket price is not
the only criterion when choosing public transport, it is still a very important factor. Especially with a one-time price increase of 20-30%.
This is indicated by the experience from the time of increases funded by Poznanians and Poznanians by the previous president - Ryszard
Grobelny. They led to a decrease in the number of beneficiaries of MPK, and thus in revenues.

The "Stop MPK ticket price increases" coalition is considering the possibility of taking further protests, which it intends to lead until
July 1.

Healthcare workers from the CNT-AIT in France shared a short text with us on Friday about the spread of coronavirus. They explain their
situation and health concerns. Its publication does not mean that the same situation is in Slovakia. ---- Unlike the situation during the
H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009, many of us, health professionals and nurses have not received the FFP2 masks needed to treat patients to
date. The state had two months to stock up these necessary protective equipment, but apparently did nothing. ---- In the words of one of the
doctors: "Not shaking hands with patients is not enough. It does not protect us before transmission of the virus by air and should be noted
that the lack of FFP2 masks can quickly lead to a shortage of people who are on them will care, because they end up in quarantine with all
the consequences that this entails. "

Decisions about how to dispose with the money in the budget, they have already fallen. On the one hand, the state has enough money for
summits, meetings and the National Security Committee to seize and deceive people. On the other hand, it leaves workers in health care
unprotected.

Lack of FFP2 masks and phase 3 coronavirus epidemic

About a week ago, we indicated that there was no supply needed to protect workers. Former Health Minister Agnès Buzyn and current Minister
Olivier Véran have been deceiving and still deceiving us. Although several million masks are distributed, they are surgical masks that do
not protect against transmission of the virus.

Under EU rules on disease control, switching to phase 3 will mean that patients with coronavirus who are not yet in hospitals will have to
visit doctors in cities. Doctors and nurses will have to work unprotected with extremely infectious patients and for ethical reasons they
will not want to opt out.

We refer only to politicians and leaders in positions of absurd and unnecessary standards: You are bitches! On the other hand, we have a
full stock of rubber projectiles and grenades that are used against the movement of the yellow vest ... delivered early 2020. The state
clearly does not have the same priorities as the population.

Workers in public transport, hypermarkets and elsewhere should require employers to pay regular hourly breaks to wash their hands and, if
necessary, hydroalcoholic gels and appropriate masks. Otherwise, they should exercise their right to refuse work.

Right to refuse work

The absence of collective or individual protection equipment entitles them to exercise their right to refuse work. Article L4131-1 of the
French Labor Code states:

'The employee shall immediately inform the employer in the event of any situation in the workplace which he is reasonably convinced of
constituting a serious and immediate threat to his life or health and of any deficiencies which appear in the protection systems. He may
leave such a workplace.

An employer may not ask an employee who exercises this right to return to work if there is a serious and imminent threat, in particular if
the situation is due to defects in the protection system. '

that this is about also in Slovakia. Under Section 8 of the Slovak Labor Code, employers must provide the means necessary to protect the
life and health of workers and under Section 12, employees have the right to refuse to work or leave the workplace and to go to safety if
they reasonably believe that they are immediately and seriously threatened. life or health, or the life or health of others.

This is a reporting from the frontline of climate activism in northwest Bangladesh, and an eyewitness to coal-led bloodshed, and women's
resistance against mining in a post-colonial location in South Asia. The discussion tells us about the Truth - who should we save, on the
one hand; and advocates for the need to change, and the need to prevent climate breakdown and environmental injustice, and killings by
coal-mining and multinational corporations listed on London Stock Exchange. ---- The story is important on this International Women's Day
because it reminds us why and how women fight coal mining, at the same time how rarely women get recognised by the nation. Women in
northwest Bangladesh know that coal doesn't only damage environment but also kills humans. On 26 August in 2006 three young people were shot
dead and over 200 injured in Phulabri when paramilitary forced opened fire on a demonstration of more than 80,000 people who marched against
a coal-mine proposed to be built by a British mining company, Asia Energy, thereafter the toxic Global Coal Management (GCM) Resources Plc.

The Global Coal Management plans to extract 572millions tons coal from Phulbari and wants to build a massive open cast coal mine by
displacing upto 220, 000 people and polluting 14, 600 hectares of fertile land (1 hectare is equal to 2.471 acres or 10,000 square metres)
from Bangladesh's only flood protected area. For the people in the region, this project would mean losing their livelihood and identities
because the mining would disperse the communities. It would impact upto 50,000 indigenous people from the area.

The three killed in August 2006 were teenagers aged from 11 years to 18 years. I was present in the spot and saw innocent children dying and
people getting badly injured, while running away from the town as gunshots, tear gas and arrests continued in the afternoon on a sunny
Friday. When most people had run away, a group of women peasants turned around and started to chase paramilitary personnel and Rapid Action
Battle (RAB) who were torturing men, women and children of all ages. The fighter women were swearing at the male soldiers, Police and RAB,
and running with their home made sweep, cooking sticks and bamboo sticks. The fight went on for nearly two hours and the BDR gradually moved
away from the main road as women told them that they had no right to enter the civilian's space.

Police enforced section 44 and announced emergency leave so women were then forced to go home. The night came with darkness and silences
everywhere, and police played a role of industrial security guards for the British mining company. They raided houses in the manless town
from 1am to 3am in the morning of 27 August. Everyone except the women and their children left the town. The mothers, sisters, aunts and
grandmas had stayed in the town to protect their children. The fight did not end until we won.

People in Phulbari, Barapukruia, and all six neighbouring chapters took strike actions for five days. It was women who took on the leading
road for strikes. Four thousands women in Khoiyrbari took over the roads on 29 August and cooked meal in their handmade oven right on the
road and stayed there with their babies, as young as 4 months old. Nurunnahar, a sex worker, who chased hundreds of RAB and Police alone in
the morning of 27 August, was the leader of all of us in the town of Phulbari. Nurunnahar taught everyone how to be brave and told us never
to give up.

Nobody gave in. The men and children joined the women's march, and continued strike actions till 31 August when government signed the
six-points demand ensuring that no mine will be built in Phulbari without public consent. People's verdict won.

Government has cancelled the deal with the company. GCM is a London-based AIM-listed extractive company. They do not hold a valid contract
with Bangladesh since September 2006. People have put a halt to the mine for more than 13 years. But GCM are selling shares on Phulbari coal
project's name. They will hold their AGM again this Tuesday on 10th March. This will be resisted. Women and men in Phulbari town will be
demonstrating against the AGM of GCM on Monday 9th March.

The Phulbari women know that coal mining is not about progression or development, it is about profit. Women continue to resist GCM and any
plans for extractions in Barapukuria, and the neighbourhood of Phulbari. Nontheless, women's contributions get rarely recognised by the male
leadership in Bangladesh.

We should not forget the invaluable contributions of women in Phulbari resistance. The narrative of anti-coal mine struggle in the South
Asian country illustrates the links between climate injustices, the power of anti-coal struggles, and women's organising in the global
South, in this case, Bangladesh. We must not undermine the resistance movement and women's power to halt the massive open cast coal mine.

Phulbari Resistance was made possible by Women's Uprising against Coal Mining

International Working Women's Day emerged in the context of the organisation of working women for better labour conditions, against hunger
and against the war of the late 19th century in Europe and in the United States. March 8 was chosen in memory of the 125 women workers who
were burned to death in a factory in New York in 1911, due to their terrible working conditions. It was also the date of large workers'
demonstrations in Russia that culminated in a general strike, which in turn was the starting point of the 1917 Socialist Revolution. ---- In
Brazil and Latin America, the labour movement in urban centres and of peasants in rural areas already formed women's organizations that
struggled for rights, land, racial equality and political participation. A landmark of this struggle was the great strike of the textile
industry in São Paulo in 1917, in which about 400 workers, mostly women, stopped work.

There have been attempts to turn the day into a commercial celebration. But the struggle of women around the world against femicide, wage
inequality, exploitation, sexual harassment, the transformation of women's bodies into commodities and low political participation has used
the date as a milestone to celebrate life and to continue the workers' struggle.

Working women continue to be exploited in two ways: inside and outside the house. Overburdened with domestic tasks, we have to put up with
lower wages despite two and three times as many working hours. In fact, capitalism developed on unpaid domestic work and the exclusion of
women from political decisions that affect our lives. We live in a society in which patriarchy, sexism, racism and the class issues that
foster economic inequality are intertwined. Black, indigenous, rural, immigrant, subcontracted and LGBT+ women in particular face challenges
such as unemployment, boss tyranny and police brutality. Despite advances in the struggle by different feminist movements, we are living
through a time of backwardness, especially in Brazil, where conservative, liberal and fascist governments are trying to deny our rights and
prevent us from advancing towards autonomy, freedom and women's empowerment.

In this situation, March 8 reminds us of the struggles of those who preceded us and gives us inspiration thanks to the experiences of
territorial self-defence, work and liberation of the female bodies of the Zapatista, Kurdish, Black, indigenous, LGBT+, and Free Women's
movements, among many others. In this March 8, we evoke the strength and the struggle of the comrades that fight together with us daily, in
our homes / territories, in our families, in our schools / universities and in our workplaces.

"For us, for those who will come, for those who are no longer".
