International Women’s Day: Day of Action and Struggle !
La Via Campesina
5.3.2013
International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8th around the world,
is a day to commemorate the struggle and honor the memory of working
women of the country and the city, feminists, and women who struggle
against capitalism. We are daughters, mothers, relatives, friends, and
acquaintances of women who have given their lives to the struggle for
our rights, justice, and an end to discrimination.
Above all, we are women who reaffirm our unrestricted commitment
toward a world without capitalist and patriarchal violence that
oppresses women the most. Therefore for Via Campesina, March 8th is a
fundamental date for the conquest of our rights. This is how we
struggle for a society with new social and power relations, where
women and men have equal opportunities, rights, and duties. We remain
always alert and firm in the struggle for our rights, our presence,
participation, and action within our organization and throughout
society at large. Moreover, we struggle for the sexual and
reproductive rights of women and demand our rights to access land in a
world where women only own a mere 2% of all land.
We strongly denounce the advancement of capitalism and agribusiness in
our communities and against peasant agriculture, threatening the food
sovereignty of the peoples; therefore, we struggle against the
hoarding and concentration of land, we struggle for an integral
agrarian reform that guarantees justice to men and women. We raise our
voices for agroecology and in defense of the earth, the water, the
seeds, and our resources that are also our livelihoods.
From Via Campesina, we encourage, salute, and call upon all our
organization around the world to create and promote struggles,
mobilizations, educational and political education activities, and
participate in the actions of the International Day of Action and
Struggle that will take place this March 8th.
