Report about March 8th week end,
popular and feminist week-end!

For the first time since the beginning of unification process, the Bloc Rouge organized an event for the International Women's Day. Here is the report and some pictures of that week-end!

In connexion with the International Women's Day (March 8th), Bloc Rouge organized a screening-debate Saturday 7th March in a young workers' hostel in Clermont-Ferrand.

During this event, we've put in place a child-care space with the aim to enable women, who often has to take charge of, to participate more freely.

This event gathered around 15 people with who we could exchange about feminist self-defense and organization.

After a presentation of women's situation in France, we talked about examples of rallying against patriarchy and all the violence it creates all around the world.

So that we have talked about Pink saris, an anti-sexist gang, and about women who are a part of  people's war in India, but also about proletarian feminist movement in Italy or in Canada.

We conclude that the only solution we have is to build proletarian feminist movement here too. Then we speak about prospects that we want to set up here in France.

The first actions in this way will be the organization of a movie screening, “Gulaab gang”, about Pink Saris and, in a second time, set up an unmixed self-defense course.

This meeting's closed with a friendly moment with music around a buffet.

The following day, we took a part of the local gathering for women's rights. We arrived behind a big banner “For a revolutionary feminism”, chanting slogans like “Féministes et prolétaires! Patriarcat, tu vas prendre cher!”, “Flics, machos, et bourgeois, tu nous opprimes? Nous on t'abat!” which were joined in by a part of the gathering.

A comrade presented the Bloc Rouge's speech for this occasion.

After speeches, the gathering sang the Women hymn, which has closed with one of our energetic slogan.

« Contre le patriarcat, je me lève et je me bats!
Contre la lesbophobie, j'prends mon casque et mon fusil!
Contre le capitalisme, on construit le socialisme! »

We met motivated women to progress toward proletarian feminist solidarity and to go to our future projects.

This week end has been successful and embodies, for us, the foundation stone of a proletarian feminist front in France.

We'll continue to make events in that goal and invite each one to contact us and join this project of popular and feminist solidarity.

Against every oppression,
Self-defense and solidarity !

Women, organize the Revolution !

L'événement a réuni une quinzaine de personnes avec qui nous avons pu échanger autour du thème de l'autodéfense et l’organisation féministe.

Après une présentation de la situation des femmes en France, nous avons évoqué des exemples de mobilisation contre le patriarcat et les violences qu'il engendre à travers le monde.

Nous avons discuté de l’organisation des Saris Roses, un gang anti-sexiste, et des femmes qui participent à la guerre populaire en Inde. Nous avons également discuté des mouvements féministes prolétariens d'Italie et du Canada, qui organisent la lutte contre le patriarcat et le capitalisme.

Il est ressorti que la seule solution dont nous disposons est la construction d’un mouvement féministe prolétarien ici aussi. Nous avons ensuite parlé des perspectives que nous voulons mettre en place ici en France.

Les premières actions en ce sens seront donc d’organiser la projection du film « Gulaab Gang » sur les saris roses dans un premier temps et de mettre en place un stage d'autodéfense en non-mixité.

Extraits du meeting :

La rencontre s’est terminée sur un moment de convivialité en musique autour d’un buffet.

Quelques réactions à chaud :

Le lendemain, nous nous sommes rendus au rassemblement local du 8 mars. C’est derrière une banderole « Pour un féminisme révolutionnaire ! » que notre cortège est arrivé, scandant des « Féministes et prolétaires, patriarcat, tu vas prendre cher! », « Flics, machos et bourgeois, tu nous opprimes? Nous on t'abat! » repris par une partie du rassemblement.

Une camarade a présenté l’intervention du Bloc Rouge à cette occasion, qui a apporté une certaine dynamique au rassemblement !

Après les prises de paroles, le rassemblement a ensuite chanté l'Hymne des Femmes, qui s'est terminé de manière plus punchy avec la reprise d'un de nos slogans :

« Contre le patriarcat, je me lève et je me bats!
Contre la lesbophobie, j'prends mon casque et mon fusil!
Contre le capitalisme, on construit le socialisme! »

Nous avons pu rencontrer des femmes motivées pour avancer vers la solidarité féministe prolétarienne et participer aux projets à venir.

Ce week-end a été une réussite et représente pour nous la première pierre de la construction d'un mouvement féministe prolétarien en France. Nous allons continuer à faire des initiatives en ce sens et invitons chacune à se joindre à nous dans ce projet de construction du mouvement féministe prolétarien.

Contre toutes les oppressions,
Autodéfense et Solidarité !
Femmes, organisons la Révolution !
