Transfeminism developed out of a critique of the mainstream and radical feminist movements. The feminist movement has a history of internal hierarchies. There are many examples of women of color, working class women, lesbians and others speaking out against the tendency of the white, affluent- dominated women’s movement to silence them and overlook their needs. Instead of honoring these marginalized voices, the mainstream feminist movement has prioritized struggling for rights primarily in the interests of white affluent women.While the feminist movement as a whole has not resolved these hierarchal tendencies, various groups have continued to speak up regarding their own marginalization – in particular, transgendered women. The process of developing a broader understanding of systems of oppression and how they interact has advanced feminism and is key to building on the theory of anarchist feminism.

Hoy 8 de marzo se conmemora internacionalmente la lucha de las mujeres por terminar con la opresión que de continuo ha ejercido la sociedad patriarcal sobre nosotras.
No nos conformemos con fijar en el calendario un día que reivindique y de paso oculte el verdadero origen de esta lucha y volquémonos a hacerla nuestra en el día a día. Es nuestra labor como izquierda revolucionaria no caer en actitudes de discriminación y exclusión con las compañeras, propias de las relaciones autoritarias de las sociedades tradicionales y burguesas. Y más importante aún es derribar la ilusión de que la "paridad" ha sido lograda, siendo que la opresión continúa y no podemos ignorarla.

Le donne sono sempre le più colpite dalla povertà, dalla violenza, dalle guerreNoi l'8 marzo 2008 ricordiamo le operaie che durante uno sciopero morirono in fabbrica tra le fiamme e nel loro ricordo continuiamo a denunciare e a combattere per liberare le donne dalle catene della società maschilista, patriarcale e clericale che le tengono ancora legate.Perché l'8 marzo non resti solo una ricorrenza, spezziamo queste catene e ricominciamo a lottare tutti insieme, con una sempre più forte solidarietà e coscienza di classe, consapevoli che nessuna liberazione della donna sarà mai completa, senza la più ampia liberazione di tutta l'umanità dagli oppressori e dai tiranni, chiese, Stati e padroni, consapevoli che la libertà di tutti passa attraverso la libertà delle donne.

"Capitalist society depends on class exploitation. It does not though depend on sexism and could in theory accommodate to a large extent a similar treatment of women and men. This is obvious if we look at what the fight for women’s liberation has achieved in many societies around the world over the last, say, 100 years, where there has been radical improvements in the situation of women and the underlying assumptions of what roles are natural and right for women. Capitalism, in the mean time, has adapted to women’s changing role and status in society. " It is quite common these days to hear criticisms of “mainstream” or “middle-class” feminism from anarchists or others on the revolutionary, and even the not-so-revolutionary, left. In particular, anarchists are often quick to criticise any feminist analysis that lacks a class analysis. This article argues that feminism in its own right is worth fighting for and that when it comes to ending sexism an insistence on always emphasising class can end up merely distracting from the fact that as anarchists we need to be unambiguous when it comes to supporting feminism. Rather than distancing ourselves from other feminists or seeking always to qualify our support, our emphasis should shift to developing and promoting our own brand of anarchist feminism.

El siguiente es un artículo sobre la situación de la mujer indígena en Colombia, según lo expresado por ellas mismas en el Foro "Mujeres Indígenas y sus Voces de Resistencia" en Bogotá, Colombia, el 27 de Septiembre del corriente año. El Foro puso en evidencia la situación de estas mujeres que sufren incesantemente de los golpes de la violencia del conflicto, así como de la discriminación y del racismo que saturan a toda la sociedad colombiana. Pero también, puso en evidencia su fuerza y su voluntad de lograr cambios mediante su propia lucha, movilización y organización. Ellas saben que son ellas mismas quienes han de conquistar sus derechos y saben que estos no les van a caer solos del cielo. |
