The 25 November, with the
women’s strike “against femicides, rapes, sexual violence and on
the entire condition of women” we lit many fires, from the North to
the South of the country. It was a historical event, new, that fills
us with strength and pride. With this feeling we closed a terrible
year because of hundreds of femicides/rapes, the attacks by
government and bosses on our conditions of life and job, the general
climate of oppression. With this feeling and even more determined, we
opened 2014, which began with new femicides.
The women’s strike, that
has given rise to moments of struggle, joy, anger, rebellion against
this society, mother of all the forms sexual violence, was just the
beginning and represents a step of a long, tortuous but shining path
of struggle strong actions of women for what we desire and deserve
... to break the double chains that this barbaric capitalist society
has imposed on us, to unleash the fury of women as a powerful force
of revolution against this system and its modern Middle Age!
The strike of the women marked a point of no return: women do not want anymore just to denounce and complain, they rebel and fight. And then we say to men who hate women, the bosses, the government, the state which hate women: “never the same again!” “All life must change!” Today we feel stronger also because the strike of women has drawn a dividing line between the real struggle of the most exploited and oppressed women, the rebel girls, and the institutionalized feminism of the political/parliamentary élites. Women workers in the factories, toilers, the precarious workers in many jobs have been the majority part of this "women's strike", women who took the “strike” in their hands, giving a definite sign of class to the general battle of all women. They were joined by the girls, students, which brought to the strike, in the street demos, the fresh wind of their beautiful rebellion, shouting "you'll never get us as you want us". The intertwinement of class and gender that the women’s strike led was and is the right weapon, a “danger” for bosses, government, State, men which hate women. A “mix” that now we have to extend, from many small fires it will become a single big fire.
Therefore, this year THE
WOMEN’S DAY IS EVEN MORE RED, STRUGGLING AND PROLETARIAN!
A day of protests,
struggling actions in many cities, from South to North, from Palermo
to Taranto, Milan, Bologna, Rome, etc.
A Women’s Day that
unites all the battles of women, against the low-intensity conflict
that kills us and on our whole condition of life, against all forms
of oppression, against the modern Middle Age that governments and the
State of the masters impose on us.
A Women’s Day that
unites in the same struggle Italian and immigrant women, humiliated,
harassed and even drowned, as happened in Lampedusa.
A Women’s Day that will
be a “bridge” to the women, workers, who struggle in other
countries: Bangladesh, China, Pakistan, etc.., to the revolutionary
comrades, communist women who are at the forefront of people's wars,
from India to the Philippines, Turkey ... to change earth and heaven!
A Women’s Day to say
“stop” modern fascism, no more reformism, we want make
revolution! If we want to change all our life, the whole society must
be revolved, toppled!
A Women’s Day that, with
the shout of women in struggle, refuses and smashes the hypocrite
mass media campaign of the representatives of bourgeois politics
aimed to stifle the fury of women as a powerful force of the
revolution!
A Women’s Day in
which, as in the "Women’s Strike", workers, toilers,
young women take in their hands the initiative to restore the
historical dignity, the class truth of the Women’s Day, because it
is not for all women, is not inter-classist, it belongs to the most
exploited and oppressed women, who are the majority of the women who
rise up, the girls who fight for a different future.
FROM THE WOMEN’S DAY
TO ALL DAYS
In the women’s strike we
built a platform of demands, uniting needs and dreams of the
struggling women. Let us develop on each of its points concrete
struggles, a campaign of organization and action, even lawsuits, to
achieve results that help our general struggle and give us more
strength and confidence that we can must struggle.
Let us develop struggles
in the cities, neighbourhoods, for a job for women, for a guaranteed
wage that gives them the economic independence, against the
precarious job and also against the double work, etc.
Let us develop struggles
in the cities, neighbourhoods, for a job for women, for a guaranteed
wage that gives them the economic independence, against the
precarious job and also against the double work, etc.
Let us organize
mobilization in the factories against the discrimination, the attacks
on the rights of women, on maternity, for conditions of work and
shifts that do not punish women, against sexual harassment, against
the sexist climate prevailing in the unions and also among workers,
with new initiatives and claims, breaking the schemes.
And then let us unite
the different battles to build together a national-wide mobilization
against the government, the State of the masters, with besiege of the
buildings of Power and the women of bourgeois power.
Let us open in the schools
also the struggle on the cultural, ideological front, against the
false sexist culture, aimed to oppress and kill the critical
knowledge, a true science, to put as unchangeable the reality of
women, their traditional role in the society. We want revolution on
everything!
