If 8 March - International Women's Day - is not to remain simply an annual recurrence, we must smash these chains by means of ever-stronger solidarity and class consciousness, in the knowledge that the liberation of women will never be complete until all of humanity is free from its oppressors, from tyrants, churches, States and bosses. In the knowledge that the freedom of all comes through the freedom of women. [ Italiano]


8 March 2008!!
Celebrating International Women's Day?

But women are still the worst hit by poverty, violence and war

On 8 March 2008

Women are paid on average 20% less than their male colleagues in similar jobs. Their double helping of work - inside and outside the home - limits women's access to extra pay linked to productivity, incentives and overtime, that represents an increasing part of today's wages. Creating incentives for wage systems which are linked to productivity only leads to increased impoverishment for women. And it is simply hypocrisy when governments and trade union bureaucracies announce their intentions to deal with the question of women.

On 8 March 2008

Even today, our male-dominated, fascist and findamentalist culture, together with the hypocrisy of that secularist element of society that is still riddled with authoritarianism and sexism, all come together to continue the oppression of women. It is the vilest sort of oppression, masked by tolerance and do-gooders, because it still ends up denying equal dignity and roles for women. It dorwns in the silence of the family the most vicious violence from physical exploitation to psychological slavery in the name of the happy family that sees women, mothers and daughters transformed into silent servants on whose shoulders rests the responsibility for looking after the housework and who must always be ready and willing, with a smile on their faces.

More and more women are dying in their family homes, the victims of private violence by men who mistake love for property rights and transform is into all-too-often tolerated violence. Violence in the home kills more people every year than cancer or road accidents.

On 8 March 2008

There is no shortage of sycophantic politicians genuflecting at the feet of priests and popes, questioning the wisdom of women's self-determination in the name of some natural" life that is sacred from the very moment of its inception. Not only do these holier-than-thou gentlemen have no qualms at all about sending troops off to massacre innocent civilians in the name of a war of "civilization", they continue to demonstrate the most high-handed contempt for women's health. They force women to face the difficulty and expense of having to go abroad to a more civilized country if they want to have fertility treatment in order to have children, and they are dying for the chance to force women to have children even if they do not feel able to carry through their pregnancy to the end.

Limiting women's self-determination not only endangers the health of hundreds of women, it also denies their right to choose when to become mothers. It is yet another attempt to impose one cultural and social model on everyone - the prelude to the wider plan for repression that they intend to subject us.

On 8 March 2008

The State and the Church are asking women to have more children to re-populate Italy. This demographic policy is obviously directed only at Italian women, seeing as how our immigrant women already have too many... Yet despite all the increasingly fascistic propaganda, there is no social assistance, there are no creches, there is no work and what work can be found offers starvation wages.

On 8 March 2008 we remember those women factory workers who died in the flames of their workshop, and in their memory we continue to denounce and fight to free women from the chains they are held in by this male-dominated, patriarchal and clerical society.

If 8 March - International Women's Day - is not to remain simply an annual recurrence, we must smash these chains by means of ever-stronger solidarity and class consciousness, in the knowledge that the liberation of women will never be complete until all of humanity is free from its oppressors, from tyrants, churches, States and bosses. In the knowledge that the freedom of all comes through the freedom of women.

photo5850321266693749315.jpg imageThe old world oppresses women and gender minorities. Their strength will destroy it! 23:50 Tue 08 Mar by Several anarchist organisations 4 comments

More than a hundred years ago, on March 8, 1917, the women workers of St. Petersburg (Russia) went on strike and demonstrated for bread and peace, thus playing part in the inception of an historic revolutionary movement. Around that time, the 8th of March as a day of struggle for women's rights began to be commemorated frequently.
In 2022, women are still one of the most oppressed sectors of humanity, alongside with gender minorities which try to overcome gender binarity. This situation takes places in every social sphere: at work, at home, in the health crisis or in war situations. This is exactly why women's uprising could topple states, capitalism and racist and patriarchal domination.

On 28 June 1969, cops arrived at the Stonewall Inn in New York. This bar is renowned in the gay, lesbian, bi and trans communities for welcoming even the most marginalised. As usual, the police spoils the party.

8menglish.png imageAgainst patriarchal oppression and capitalist exploitation: No one is alone! 02:57 Mon 08 Mar by Various anarchist organisations 8 comments

Today, March 8, we commemorate International Working Women's Day, a historic date on which we raise the struggle for the political, social, economic, and sexual rights of women, lesbians, and transgender people of the oppressed classes. Today, we aim to put an end to the systematic violence of patriarchy and support the revolutionary workers', popular and anti-colonial struggle. First proposed by a group of socialist women at the Second International Conference of Socialist Women in 1910 in Copenhagen, the day was initially intended to promote women's civil rights. Later, it became a day of agitation, mobilization, protest, and strike for the lives and liberty of women and dissidents of the gender system across the globe. From the protest for women's labor and political rights in the industrial states at the beginning of the 20th century to the revolt for bread and peace by working women that began, along with other strikes and demonstrations, the Russian Revolution of February 1917, March 8 as International Women's Day was slowly consolidated through the active struggle of working-class women. Therefore, we rescue such great attainment that allows us to remember the achievements of the feminist movement against patriarchal oppression. March 8 also allows us to appropriate the debates and proposals our predecessors had and build spaces that enable us to raise our voices against the injustices and violence of this capitalist, patriarchal and colonialist, system of domination.

International Women’s Day is a day when the women’s movement around the world celebrates social, political and other achievements of women. It is also a good day for women to take a closer look at the oppression that flourishes through the double bondage of capitalism and patriarchy, and which is still an unfortunate and undeniable reality for the majority of women today.

We strive for a society in which one person or group of people do not dominate or exploit another. In such a society there would be no basis for sexual oppression, domination, or class exploitation. We must work to replace the institutions of power, the nation-state, and capitalism with a worldwide system of grassroots empowerment and self-management of all facets of social and economic life.

One hundred years ago today, on March 8, 1908, thousands of women left their jobs in the sweatshops of New York City's Lower East Side and took to the streets to demand their rights as women and as workers. In 1917, their sisters in Russia followed suit, and helped to bring about the revolution that overthrew the Tsarist autocracy. And in Spain in 1936, the anarchist women of Mujeres Libres helped to free their sisters from centuries of oppression.

imageAnarchism and the Continuing Struggle for Women's Freedom Jan 27 by Bongani Maponyane 0 comments

As anarchist-communists, we oppose sexism whenever and wherever it exists, although we also realise that class position differentiates the experience of sexism. We salute all the woman freedom fighters, and the older generation of women, many our mothers, who bear the scars of the gruesome battles in which they stood firm, fighting the oppression imposed on the African native by colonial conquest. There were hard times in the apartheid era, where black women were abused, raped and oppressed: the state did nothing to stop this, but aided it, as the state was part of the system of oppression. History shows that dispossession and systematic dehumanization for the purposes of exploitation and domination were undertaken through the uncontrolled and coercive mayhem of the South African state.

imageFlora Tristan: precursor of feminism and proletarian emancipation Mar 08 by Nahuel Valenzuela 0 comments

Flora Célestine Thérèse Henriette Tristán y Moscoso Lesnais (1803-1844) was a French writer of Peruvian descent. Little known in official historiography, probably intentionally forgotten because of the rebellion and desire for freedom that emanates from her writings. Among her works were Peregrinations of a Pariah (1839), Promenades in London (1840) and the booklet The Workers' Union (1843). [Castellano]

Ultimately we believe that people should have the freedom to dress whatever way they like. This means freedom from state interference and freedom from religious interference in how one should dress. Anarchist reflections on the debate around the banning of the veil in French schools.
