#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) grupo via libre: Let's fight for the legalization of abortion (ca, de, it, fr, pt)[machine translation]

 On September 28, a new international day for the right to abortion is

commemorated. Today the growing feminist movement in the country takes on this
demand with force, taking advantage of the important influence of the green wave
and the great mobilizations of the women's movement in Argentina that changed the
political landscape and allowed the legalization of abortion in 2020. This year,
In addition, there are important legislative advances in countries such as Mexico
and Chile, as well as a growing opposition by women and social movements to the
criminalization of abortion in most of the Central American and Caribbean countries.
On the other hand, anti-rights activists, led by the most conservative sectors of
the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Churches, are redoubling their efforts to
block the sexual rights of women and dissidents. The Christian fundamentalists
who defend forced motherhood, protected by the formally joint government of Iván
Duque and the vice-presidency of the warmonger Marta Lucia Ramírez, are the same
ones who denied the physical sexual violence exerted by the Police during the
recent protests of the social outbreak, They protect the very serious and
systematic crimes of pedophilia, abuse and rape committed by the religious orders
that they comprise, defend their supposed right to mistreat and discriminate
against people based on their sex and gender in their companies and schools, and
they opposed the recent peace process with the FARC. For this reason, today the
political and cultural struggle against the anti-rights sectors, and the entire
patriarchal and reactionary program that they defend, is key.

Today the struggle of women and dissidents for the right to decide about their
own bodies, including the pregnancy process, is vital, urgent and necessary. In
Colombia, the first mobilizations for abortion began in 1979, following the
example of the legalization of Cuba and Puerto Rico. An important leap was made
in 2006, when after years of feminist activism and the denunciation of the
infamous case of forced maternity that ended up ending the life of Marta Sulay
Gonzales, the Constitutional Court established the partial and localized
decriminalization of cases of rape, malformations and protection of the life and
health of the mother. Today we must take this fight to the full legalization of
the voluntary interruption of pregnancy at the request of the pregnant person,

As always, we point out that the right to abortion is only one of the instances
of women's sexual and reproductive rights and sexual dissidents, which also
include comprehensive sexual education throughout the educational system and
accessible contraception and planning methods. Today the first steps of
comprehensive sexual education are given in alternative, critical and popular
education processes, however, we must seek to extend to all formal education the
commitment to a public, self-managed, secular, critical and free education.
Likewise, we believe that reproductive rights are closely related to the fight
for full equality and economic and labor inclusion of women and sexual dissidents,

On the other hand, we think it is important to combine the claim of legal rights
with the community self-management of the same, giving, on the one hand, the
fight in the streets and other spaces for the legalization of therapeutic
abortion, and on the other, strengthening the legitimate spaces of accompaniment
and advice on voluntary interruptions of pregnancy, which thousands of women and
dissidents carry out today, due to criminalization, in conditions of persecution
and insecurity. Therefore, we demand immediate freedom for all women and
dissidents imprisoned for abortion, while promoting the dissemination of
information related to safe abortion and strengthening mutual support networks.

We point out that the identification with the green scarf of thousands of women
and young people is valuable, but it is essential to convert that feeling of
sympathy into real, sustained and concrete political and organizational support
for the fight for the legalization of abortion in the country, as well as in the
construction of comprehensive sexual education processes from a feminist perspective.

We conclude by underlining that we are in the process of building a strong
movement of women and sexual and gender dissidents, as well as a popular movement
with feminist criteria and leadership. We think that we must do it, from a new
libertarian culture, of care, horizontality, direct popular action and union from
below, away from the saving leaders, vertical organizations and the personalist
narrowness of electoral politics, precisely learning from our own strength, the
of the current feminist wave in Latin America and the popular protest
materialized in the social outbreak of April 28, with great activity by women and
dissidents.

Legal abortion now!

Up those who fight!
