Change the lives of women to change the world,
Change the world to change the lives of women!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sisters and Comrades, <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Today, we as the World March of Women continue to walk in the footsteps of the Mirabal sisters, whose courage against dictatorship ignited an international flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this November 25, we continue to raise our voices together to say: No more violence against women! <\/strong>Not in our homes, not in our workplaces, not on our bodies, not on our lands, not on our territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Violence against women is everywhere: at home, on the streets, in public transport, schools, workplaces, social media, and even in movements, unions, and religious spaces. It affects women of every age, race, class, and territory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical and sexual violence are more visible, but violence also includes psychological abuse, harassment, digital attacks, silencing, discrediting women in leadership and politics, violation of privacy, and economic control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day, thousands of women struggle against all of these, and build political strength to end violence at its roots: patriarchy, sexism, racism, homophobia, and all social and cultural structures that devalue, exclude, and abuse women, girls, adolescents, and people of diverse sexualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of years of feminist struggle, sexist violence is now understood not as a private matter, but as a social and political issue rooted in patriarchal domination. Patriarchy is not separate from racism or capitalism. These systems reinforce each other. Women are exploited through low wages, precarious jobs, unpaid care work, and lack of rights and protections, and these exploitations are expressed with greater intensity in racialized women, working-class women, and women from territories threatened by capitalist accumulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Violence against women is a tool used to control women’s bodies, behavior, work, and freedom and to make them subservient to others. It is perpetrated by men from all sectors of society, including employers, religious leaders, teachers, partners, and strangers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women with disabilities also face higher risks of gender-based and institutional violence, including forced medical interventions and caregiver abuse. Their access to protection, justice, and support services is often blocked by discrimination and inaccessible systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women suffer violence in intimate relationships and workplaces, but also when they migrate, across borders, in refugee camps, in occupied territories, and in the context of wars driven by imperialist interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We denounce the use of unilateral coercive measures and blockades in Venezuela, Cuba, Algeria, and Iran as war crimes that particularly affect women’s lives, rights, and physical and mental health. Wars and conflicts deepen patriarchal violence. They legitimize militarization, normalize aggression, and use women\u2019s bodies as battlefields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We denounce the advance of the fascist far right in the governments, which, through patriarchal, capitalist, racist, and fundamentalist mechanisms of control over women’s bodies and their territories, represent setbacks in fundamental and human rights, such as the right to live free from violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Sudan to the Democratic Republic of Congo. From Western Sahara to Haiti or Palestine. In the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, women are victims of femicide, they suffer physical, sexual, and economic violence, displacement, repression, militarization, and the theft of their land and livelihoods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why we affirm that violence is not a destiny, but part of a system of control, and must be named, denounced, and rejected everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, we continue to demand:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    \n
  • Prevention before violence happens.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Concrete measures in every institution, like schools, workplaces, health and security services to prevent and address violence, including institutional and racist violence.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Demilitarization of our territories\u00a0and an end to corporate and extractive economies that exploit women\u2019s labor, land, and lives. Transnational corporations must withdraw from our lands.\u00a0\n
      \n
    • A just redistribution of public resources, away from weapons, war, and debt, and toward care, education, food sovereignty, and community-led economies rooted in justice and dignity.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • An end to the killings, criminalization, and forced disappearances of women and activists\u00a0across Africa and the Global South.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Accountability for sexual and gender-based violence\u00a0as crimes against humanity, including when committed by states, corporations, militias, and armed forces.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The abolition of unilateral coercive measures and blockades,\u00a0in places such as Venezuela, Cuba, Algeria, and Iran, which deepen patriarchal violence and dismantle women\u2019s fundamental rights<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A firm rejection of the rise of fascist far-right governments\u00a0whose patriarchal, racist, fundamentalist, and capitalist policies attack women\u2019s bodies, their autonomy, and their territories, rolling back fundamental human rights and protections from violence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • An immediate end to wars, occupations, and militarization\u00a0that produce sexual violence, displacement, and the theft of land and livelihoods, especially from Sudan and DRC to Western Sahara, Palestine, and beyond.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Ending violence is not a one-day or sixteen-day campaign. It is a continuous fight linked to autonomy over our bodies and sexualities, labor rights, social protection, education, housing, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      healthcare, reproductive rights, and LGBTQ+ freedom. Patriarchal and racist capitalism will resist, and therefore we have to remain alert and organized. We call upon movements, communities, and organizations around the world to rise in collective feminist action every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We know that unless we say NO to wars, NO to capitalism and imperialism, and NO to all systems that generate destruction and exploitation, we cannot end violence against women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Violence against women is sustained by the same forces that fuel poverty, displacement, war, and environmental destruction. Our struggle is connected to anti-racist, anti-capitalist, decolonial, and peace struggles around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We will continue to build a world where women live with dignity, autonomy, equality, and freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Because violence is political, so is our resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
