For years now, the Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT), together with the feminist movements, has been continuing its efforts in this country for recognition of equal rights between women and men. Despite these efforts, which continue those undertaken by our grandmothers, mothers, friends - women's rights as citizens, workers and people continue to be violated to this day. [Castellano]
Thus, we find that instead of moving towards a liberating society that respects individuals without any discrimination and which as a minimum abides by the standards it allegedly sets itself, we are moving towards a darker reality that subjects and enslaves, one that is highly discriminatory and imposes the most savage capitalist patriarchy.
Perhaps it's time for women to start working toward a new feminist culture, taking another step towards the union of goals to combat patriarchy not only with words but with actions that strengthen a movement of solidarity between women. To do this we have a concept: Sisterhood, an instrument that has a strong ethical, political and practical dimension in today's feminism, and one that serves to build political and existential alliances.
The alliance of committed women is as important as the fight against other acts of oppression such as patriarchy. It's about creating spaces where women can outline new possibilities for life.
The CGT works so that the world in which we live includes women by means of a gender-neutral language, recognizes them, is respectful, supportive, liberating and no longer cuts them out. The women and men of the CGT unite to continue fighting for their rights and those of any person who is discriminated against.
As we have been saying for a long time, the revolution will be feminist or it will not be.
