We, grassroots feminists from the World March of Women, coming from fifteen territories of Our America, Abya Yala, have gathered for three days in San Cristóbal de las Casas as part of the 6th International Action to build our collective vision for the continent and consolidate actions for a free, sovereign, and feminist America.
In a world where wars and arms races are imposed, where territories are invaded, genocides are silenced and imperialism is intended to expand, the women of the region assume the responsibility to continue defending peace in the continent and in the world. We join the demand of the peoples not to give up in the face of injustice, the killing of children and women, and the use of sexual violence and hunger as weapons of war. We denounce the genocide of the Palestinian people and the international institutions complicit with their silence and inaction. We support the unceasing struggle of the Saharawi women and denounce the political and economic blockades of the government of the United States of America that prevent the full development of Venezuela and Cuba.
We denounce the rise of the right wing, fascism and religious fundamentalisms in our territories, which attack conquered rights and stigmatize struggles using hate speeches.
From here we call on all women of the region and the world to unite in a single front and raise the banners of internationalist solidarity.
We live in a world where oppressions increase on women workers. Every day there is an increasing overload of tasks in poorly paid or unpaid jobs, the responsibilities of caring for families, communities and vulnerable people multiply in a context marked by the precariousness of public policies, difficulties in access to food, education and health.
We note that this situation of precariousness of life contrasts abusively with the profits of transnational corporations, the rise of transnational corporate powers, their influence in international politics, in multilateral organizations and in life itself.
We call on all grassroots organizations, in all our diversity, to incorporate feminist economics as a strategy to confront the advance of the right and fascism.
Feminist economics is a way of thinking, a practice, and a political commitment. It is an economic system that recognizes the web of life and the interdependence between people and nature, and embraces it as an ethical alternative to extractivism and corporate capture of states.
We stand in solidarity with the communities that resist, especially with the women of the peoples of the Macro North region of Peru who reject the advance of extractivism. With the Haitian sisters who confront criminal gangs with their bodies. With the sisters of Argentina who confront the most fierce neoliberalism. We embrace the sisters of Honduras and the native peoples of Guatemala, we accompany them in their challenges.
We stand alongside the women of El Salvador who courageously confront laws such as the so-called Foreign Agents Law that criminalize their work
We stand with the migrant women in the United States of America, who are criminalized, persecuted and victims of all kinds of human rights violations.
We stand in solidarity with the Mapuche women victims of persecution and disappearances. We accompany the struggles and resistance of our comrades in Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia, we are with all women who face religious fundamentalism, the advances of the right wing and fascism.
And from this beautiful town that welcomed us, above all we are with the struggles and women of Chiapas in their defense of territory and proposal of good living.
We agree:
Strengthen organizational memory and political coherence through documentary reconstruction and collective debate.
To reaffirm the feminist economy as a political horizon that goes beyond its reduction to the visibilization of the care economy.
To confront structural violence against women with common actions, especially in contexts such as Haiti.
Denounce the multiple forms of war and militarization, and defend the Americas from intervention.
With the strength of our ancestors, the clarity of our convictions and our political horizon, we reaffirm, in the framework of the 6th International Action, the unconditional commitment to continue strengthening popular feminist networks throughout the continent.
From San Cristobal de las Casas, we weave with hope and rebellion delegates from: Quebec, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay.
We march against wars and capitalism!
We defend the sovereignty of the peoples and the Good Life!
