#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #BELGIUM #BRUSSELS #BELGIQUE #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) Bruxel, #UCL, #feminisme libertaire #bxl: November 28, in the fight against gender-based violence! (ca, de, it, fr, pt)[machine translation]

 On November 28, we were several thousand people in Brussels at the annual

demonstration against gender-based violence. We participated through the vnr and
revolutionary bloc with La Fronde , Cercle Féministe de l'ULB , Nemesis Fighting
Club , Le poisson sans bicyclette , Malfrap USE , Front Q , Déchainé * es , La
Mutinerie Montoise , La Forge - Bxl ---- The mobilization began with a speech by
the Lesbian Bloc in Brussels , followed by a unitary speech by the vnr bloc:
anti-capitalist, anti-racist, anti-fascist, denouncing this
cis-hetero-patriarchal society. We all carried a banner "Police, Judge, State
Won't Protect Us." Let's organize against the patriarchy! "

With Féminisme Libertaire Bruxelles, we wanted to mobilize once again a few weeks
after the start of the #BalanceTonBar movement . We will no longer feel at fault
or ashamed of the violence we suffer, on the contrary. The State and its justice
despise us when they ask us to be patient and calm. We do not want a return to
"calm". For us, sexized people, victims of patriarchy, there is no such thing as
"calm". Our anger points to a whole system that violates our bodies and our
lives, a system embodied by the State and protected by the Police.

The procession was a success overall. We created bonds, we shouted our strength,
our determination and our solidarity together. We needed to occupy this space
through feminism and common practices. Thank you to everyone who joined us
(despite the rain) and walked with us!

However, a TERFS and abolitionist group came to provoke activists from the vnr
and lesbian bloc with the help of placards and transphobic and putophobic
remarks. Beforehand, we had as collective instructions not to respond with
violence to this kind of provocation in order to avoid the fallout on the people
concerned. Our blocs have tried to push them back firmly with slogans "break up"
and "solidarity with whores around the world". Today, they broadcast videos
victimizing themselves and publicly displaying militant exes by harassing them
and endangering them. * Do not broadcast these images, report the pages. ** If
you have videos, photos, testimonials, you can send them directly to La Fronde
who collects them.

The day ended with speeches by collectives of the procession and individual
speeches. Concretely , in relation to the Balance ton Bar movement, we demand the
definitive closure of the Waff and El Café. We also want the abolition of the
complaint of defamation in the context of sexual violence, in that it constitutes
a weapon of silence of the victims. From a broader and global perspective, we
crave a new, radically changed society that promotes a culture of consent. We are
burning with a society where we would be free, where we could live and move
around without fear in reinvented spaces!

Who are we?
Féminisme Libertaire Bruxelles is the non-mixed, self-managed and autonomous
group of the Union Communiste Libertaire Bruxelles whose feminism designates the
actions that have the will to bring about social changes in the face of
oppressions and systemic exploitation experienced by women and individuals. sexized.

Our feminism is materialist and revolutionary, we intend to fight against gender
as a relationship of power through intersectional solidarity. The revolutionary
project lies in the recognition of the oppressed and heterogeneous political
class formed by women on the one hand, and the will to organize collective
struggles and to contribute to social movements on the other.

In addition, we want a feminism that fights against the precariousness of women
and the processes of material exploitation engendered by globalized neoliberal
capitalism. We claim a militant practice focused on class struggle: social
classes and gender classes. Therefore, our feminist commitment is also a fight
against fascism because it is the armed wing of the bourgeois social order, of
the state and of the police apparatus.
