Another March arrives, and with it the commemoration of International
Working Women's Day, a historic day of struggle and resistance for thoseat the bottom. Year after year, women and dissidents have upheld the
banners of resistance against patriarchy and capitalism, always
promoting organization with our working-class sisters to aim to
fundamentally transform this system plagued by injustice and inequality.
---- This March 8th finds us in an extremely complex economic and social
context. On the one hand, as this is the third year we've lived with the
coronavirus pandemic, we can balance that we women at the bottom have
borne the brunt, between the overburden of caregiving duties, the lack
of assistance to confront sexist violence, and job insecurity and
instability. We also cannot fail to point out that women and dissidents
from the oppressed class are affected by a situation marked by austerity
and economic crisis. As we pointed out in our recent position paper, the
agreement with the International Monetary Fund will only have negative
consequences for those at the bottom. We, in particular, must defend the
gains we have won through the struggles of women and dissidents who may
be at the mercy of the austerity measures: our wages, working
conditions, pension rights (which recognize unpaid care work), access to
sexual and reproductive rights, and voluntary abortion, among many others.
That this March 8th finds us in the streets should be a boost to
continue mobilizing and occupying the streets to confront this advance
of those above against our rights and our achievements. Thus, from our
unions, our neighborhoods, and places of study, we must promote
organization and make our demands an integral part of the demands, along
with the broader issues that affect us as part of the oppressed classes.
Against patriarchy, capitalism, and the state!
Against the advance of those above, resistance and solidarity from those
below!
