Women Rise Up Against Violence!
On
March 8, International Women’s Day, the Women of Diverse Origins
collective will hold a demonstration in Montreal to demand an end to
violence “against women, the poor, marginalized, indigenous people,
minorities (religious, ethnic and gender) and the most vulnerable.” The demonstration will start at 6pm from Place Émilie-Gamelin
(metro Berri-UQAM). A solidarity celebration will follow right after
the demo at Comité Social Centre-Sud (1710, rue Beaudry, metro Beaudry).
The
PCR-RCP Canada supports this call and will form a proletarian
revolutionary feminist contingent within the demo. We will march to
condemn oppression from the capitalist system and to call for a
radically different society —an egalitarian society free from any kind
of oppression.
The
problem of violence against proletarian women cannot be solved under
capitalism, because this system creates a culture of commodification
that takes advantage of the old social relations of oppression,
discrimination, sexism and inequalities. Men and even women from the
ruling class have an interest in reproducing the social inequalities
that specifically oppress working class women and keep them in
situations where food, financial, physical and psychological security
are endangered. It is through the marginalized position of working class
women that the wealthy are able to extract more profits. This is the
kind of violence that women from the oppressed classes are facing.
Only
socialist revolution and the building of a genuine people’s power can
meet the needs and assure security of all proletarian women.
On March 8, let’s advance the revolutionary nature of International Women’s Day! Let’s take the streets to condemn their violence and propel our own struggle as female workers!
