8th March - International Women*'s Day of Struggle: We Take the Power Back!

Em desthilatê şûnde digirin! > Preuzmimo Moć > İktidarı geri alıyoruz! >

< سوف نستعيد قوتنا < ما قدرت خود را دوباره بدست ميگيريم

Мы возвращаем нашу власть! > Retomamos el poder! > Nous reprenons le pouvoir! > Estamos pegando o poder de volta! > Ci riprendiamo il potere! > We take the power back! > Wir nehmen uns die Macht zurück

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We take the power back!

As women* we are determined to lead the fight from the front. Patriarchy is the foundation of the imperialist and capitalist system, which exists on the basis of white male domination. We are women* who resist this order of exploitation and oppression.

As women* who experience war, who flee, who are in exile or migrate, we resist physical and psychological exploitation and humiliation. Refugee women* arriving in Europe, face a fascist asylum system that forces them into lagers, which provide no privacy but at the same time isolates them. This again exposes women* to all forms of violence in the private and public sphere.

Sexism is not imported to the fake democracies of the west. Women* who are brought up in these „democracies“ are also actors in their own states’ logic of war, colonialism and exploitation. These women* agree to this logic, they promote racist propaganda and profit from it.

We won’t allow for divisions, and won’t participate in the evil game of dividing sexism, inter-trans-homo discrimination, racism, classism, antiromaism, anti-muslim racism, and ableism. We will not divide ourselves!

The women* in Rojava are a good example of women* who fight against colonialist and fascist state forces. The kurdish women in the north of Kurdistan (Bakur), are fighting for autonomy and since months they are resisting the military superiority of armed forces and mercenary soldiers.

Resistance starts when we are in solidarity with each other, defend ourselves and others and fight for freedom on the basis of justice.

We call on women*, especially working class women* (with and without papers), to fight against the capitalist patriarchy and to decide for themselves in all areas of life.

For a society without colonialism and capitalism!
