\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

On the 8th<\/sup>\u00a0of March2018, International Women\u2019s Day, we from the World March of Women, diverse women from all peoples, races and ages, come together once again to reaffirm that we will keep marching until we are all free from all the oppression from the patriarchal, capitalist and colonial system; we will continue to use our feminism as a way of life, and the streets as the space to amplify our demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\n denounce and resist the political worldwide context marked by the \ngrowing economic, social, political, climatic and ideological crises, in\n short, we denounce the total war environment where we, women, are the \nmost affected!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\n denounce economic and nationalist fables as a way of depriving women of\n their fundamental rights and freedoms and the consequent boycott of \nwomen\u2019s and peoples\u2019 autonomy. We reject all the policies from right \nwing governments that, increasingly radical, express hate, racism, \nmisogyny, intolerance and other forms of discrimination. We will stand \nfirm and fight against the growing criminalization of social movements. \nThe struggle for our rights and freedoms is a fair demand so WE ARE NOT \nCRIMINALS! We will continue to take the streets and act in solidarity \nwith our sisters that were murdered, persecuted and deprived of their \nfreedom and political action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\n denounce and face the growing militarization worldwide as a strategy to\n control peoples\u2019 life. Militarization ensures neocolonialism, the new \nlooting and the  appropriation from capital \nover natural resources and the maintenance of the arms industry’s \nenrichment in the face of the crisis, apart from the permanent state of \nwar in the Middle East and Africa. We are concerned about the signs from\n militarized powers of the north that threaten the return to the cold \nwar era and the permanent interference in the global \nsouth countries trying to impose the model of neoliberal nordic \ndemocracy as the goal to be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\n denounce the free trade agreements, that increasingly impoverish the \npeoples from the global south. The appropriation, privatization and \ncommodification of knowledge production, and other resources as the \nland, water, health, education and other common goods deepen the \nexploitation of impoverished people\u2019s work, diminishes the opportunities\n of future generations, perpetuating the poverty cycle. The extractive \nindustry and the agribusiness continue to degrade our health and our \nliving conditions while political elites accumulate a wealth based on \ncorruption and impunity, and build a state that serves the interests of \ntransnational corporations. We reaffirm that we will continue to put our\n bodies on the streets to fight this situation as law institutions are \nincreasingly weakened by the power of capital and do not function as \nthey should. The market forces weakened the welfare state and the citizen\u2019s rights.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\n denounce the destruction of the planet by the institutionalization of a\n Western universalism and the unbridled pursuit of profit. The cartel \nformed by the unethical multinational corporations is destroying the \nmother earth that sustains human life. The climate agreements have \ncreated false solutions based on a market-led language that has proven \nto be empty and perpetuating violence against nature! We, from the World\n March of Women, women from the farms and the cities, defend the Earth \nwere we came from, that we are part of, that sustain us and where we \nwill return; the water, the land and forests in our territories as we \nbelieve in ways of living that interact in a sustainable way with the \nnatural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\n denounce a market that exploits and precarizes the working conditions \nof women through long hours of work, low wages and the exposition to \nseveral risks. We denounce the precariousness of domestic and care work. The work that guarantees the maintenance of the human life, that nourishes, harmonize, teach, protects. The same work that is invisible and devalued! We question the sexual division of labour that overvalues the work socially designed for men based on the denial of the value of work attributed to women.\n How can the world devalue the work involved in the most elementary \ntasks for human existence as cooking that feed us, or cleaning the place\n we call home? The work carried out by women is the basis that maintains\n human life and therefore an important source of economic contribution. \nWe demand the recognition of the value of domestic work as economic \ncontributions go beyond what can be monetized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\n denounce the aid industry and developmental programs, particularly the \nones that focus on gender issues, as promoting neoliberal and \nimperialist agendas, perpetuating the discrimination, racialisation and \nexploitation of women in the global south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We\n denounce, and will continue to do so, all forms of violence, not \nforgetting the sexist violence that we face daily in public and private \nspaces. We say as loud as we can ENOUGH! Stop the rapes, forced \nmarriages and femicides that not only happen in African and Asian \ncountries, but are present in the lives of all women from all the \nclasses across the world. Our bodies and our lives belong to us and we \nwill not negotiate that right.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We\n emphasise, support and participate in all the initiatives to end the \nsilence, as the recent movements of denounce and occupation of the \npublic space: Women\u2019s March, Time\u00b4s up, #metoo, Ni una menos!, Vivas nos queremos! and\n the international women\u2019s strike, as initiatives that add up to the \npermanent and inevitable struggles we have been fighting against the \noppression of the patriarchal, capitalist and colonialist system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\n emphasize the struggles and resistances of the women that use the local\n as a space to build new narratives and to rewrite the history of \nmarginalized populations, emphasizing the diversity and multiculturality\n of peoples, solidarity as a strategy of subversion against the current \nsystem and as a strategy of humanization contributing towards the \ntransformation of societies, making them more just and equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\n is because of this and much more that we, women from the World March of\n Women, as a movement of permanent action, will march on the 8th<\/sup> of March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be in action around the world during the 24 hours of the 24th<\/sup> of\n April 2018 to reaffirm that \u201cRana Plaza is everywhere\u201d; we will \ndenounce the textile industry, transnational corporations and all kinds \nof exploitation of women’s labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to march towards the XI International Meeting where from the 22nd<\/sup> to the 28th<\/sup> of\n October in Basque Country we will collectively build utopias and \nalternatives towards the world of justice, freedom and peace that we \nmarch for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to transform our pain in strength!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to believe in solidarity and collective work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will keep marching, Women\u2026 always!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
