During this time, we passed from what it is considered to be Eastern Europe to Western Europe. We went out from Kurdistan and Turkey to Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Austria, Switzerland and now we are in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The struggles of women that we met along this time confirm our vision as an anti-patriachal, anti-capitalistic, anticolonialist, anti-militarist movement in the international context. We heard testimonies from women who are experiencing how the militarization and the non conventional wars, with private or fundamentalist armies, create new artificial borders that separates their families and communities, take control of their natural resources, their working force and their bodies. We listened how lands, water and seeds are being land-grabbed in Turkey and in Austria to generate energy for an elite only working to maximize their own profits. We heard how the austerity,<br>neoliberal, capitalist and individualist politics try to push the women into the private sphere in Greece, Bosnia or in Croatia, but also in Austria or in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In every country in which we have been, we heard how fascist groups and fundamentalists of different conservative<br>religious groups try all the time to control the body, the work and the sexuality of women by imposing a heteronormative model of life, attacking our autonomy and right to abortion, and treating us as incubators of their nationalistic aspirations. We saw how this hegemonic model of society tries to confuse us convincing us that our struggle is not necessary and hidding that if there are a few women in positions of power, it is at the cost of so many oppressed women in the whole world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In all those processes of control and setbacks, we met with women who resist and go on with alternatives, who create new ways of communication, cross artificial borders and linguistic barriers, creating solidarity networks and<br>community links. They are fighting collectively against the every day violence they suffer, planting trees to take back their territories in front of mega projects, exchanging knowledge and seeds to say \u201cNo\u201d to the commodification of nature, occupying the streets to claim the right to freely exercise their sexuality and their right to public space, practicing new ways of economy and community life, based on horizontality and solidarity, taking back the memory and making visible the violence women suffer during wars, rising up to denounce xenophobia, racism, antisemitism and fascism, fighting against male violence and showing solidarity with women all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>During this trip, the Caravan has created links, connected struggles, making them stronger. Additionally, to all those resistances, the Caravan itself is an experience of self organized community life, resolution of conflicts, co-existances with different political cultures, but with the same aim: to end with this model that brings us death &#8211; capitalist, patriarachal, racist, colonialist &#8211; and founding a society truly egalitarian, fair, solidar and libertarian.<br>Finally, it becomes very clear that there is a \u201cSouth\u201d in the so-called most rich countries of the &#8220;North&#8221; and more than ever as feminists we have to recognize it and work to make stronger our struggles with all the women in<br>Europe, from all generations. Meanwhile women will be oppressed, there will not be equality and we will not rest and that is why we say: we will be on the march untill we are all free!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the 6th of June, the feminist caravan of the World March of Women in Europe completed three months on the road.
