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!

Participation of Cis Men in 8. March Demo

++ ENGLISH ++ In the last days but also every year before, we have seen racist, transmisogynistic, sexist shit posted on social media about our 8th march demonstration. We want to take a moment to make a CLEAR STATEMENT against racism, transmisogyny and sexism and the participation of cis-men. We, Alliance of internationalist feminists, are mostly Women and Trans Persons of color (BIPoc), migrant and refugee women from different groups, networks and/or individuals. Our feminism is intersectional and our fight is against racism, colonialism, capitalism, imperialism, and patriarchy. We know that we share the struggle against racism with non white cis-men and the fight against capitalism with all, but this demo is about CENTERING the self-defense and self-organization of women, trans, and inter persons. Our subjectivity is an important element of our fight. To be able to organize, resist and fight against the system we must put it into action. That means cis-men are not at all invited. Al...

8M 2021 Demo ROUTE

++ 8. March 2021 DEMO ROUTE ++ Our route leads through Berlin-Mitte. the start - the representation of the European Commission in Germany - except that people at the EU's external border are exposed to death by freezing and drowning for the sake of EU policy calculations. This policy knows no shame when it comes to destroying the world and people's lives through imperialist, colonialist, neoliberalist and extractivist agendas as well as femicide, embargo, border and deportation policies, and supporting dictators and occupations with arms trade and war. Symbols of all these agendas can be found in close proximity in Berlin-Mitte. One stop of the demo will be in front of the Pergamon Museum - a symbol of German and European robbery of the history of the peoples of Mesopotamia. With the removal of the blue Ishtar gate, not only the history on site was destroyed, but also the genocide of thousands of Armenians and Kurds was actively supported by the German side. Much is already kno...
