A-Infos (en) Brazil, UNIPA: March 8: International Working Women's Day! (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

On March 8th, International Working Women's Day is celebrated, for us 
this is another Day of Struggle. On this date we recover the memory of 
the struggles of working women during the Russian Revolution, when they 
occupied the streets for "Bread and Peace", we also take the opportunity 
to rescue the strength of Dandara dos Palmares, in the struggles of 
black mothers from the outskirts and favelas who fight against the 
killing of their black children by the Brazilian Colonial State, 
rescuing the strength of peasant, indigenous and quilombola women and 
being inspired by the fighters of the EZLN, the Mapuche people and in 
Rojava and we salute all the working women who have been building 
revolutionary trade unionism in Brazil .

We, women, have our history marked by many struggles that are often not 
even told, such as daily confrontations, when we take the "front lines" 
in housing movements, or in resistance to the death of our children due 
to State violence. , in the fight for self-determination of bodies and 
better working conditions that meet our specific demands and for equal pay.

Today, according to Dieese, we represent 44% of the workforce in Brazil, 
of which black and brown women are the majority. In terms of income, we 
receive 21% less than men, this data demonstrates the patriarchal trait 
of capitalism. In the case of black women, they receive 51% less than 
white men. Of the people unemployed in the fourth quarter of 2023, 64.6% 
were women. We still have work that is made invisible in capitalist 
society, such as caring for the home, children, parents and sick 
relatives, the majority of which are us, women, who are involved in 
relationships.

As if all the capitalist exploitation wasn't enough, we also have to go 
through countless amounts of violence, according to the Security 
Observatories Network, in 2023 every 24 hours at least 8 women suffered 
violence. We highlight here the cases of feminicide, according to data 
from the Brazilian Public Security Forum, in 2023 we had more 
feminicides than in 2022. This keeps Brazil as one of the most violent 
countries in the world for women. And, for the 14th year, Brazil is the 
country that kills the most trans people in the world.

In the recent history of our country, we left the Bolsonaro Government, 
which did not make a point of showing itself in favor of women's rights, 
including in many moments objectifying and violating women. The 
experience of the Lula Government demonstrates that it is necessary to 
break with imperial feminism that seeks to integrate and accommodate 
women within the interests of the capitalist, patriarchal and racist 
State. The conviction for manslaughter of the police officer who 
murdered the young black man Johnatha de Oliveira Lima, or the violence 
that does not stop in favelas and outskirts, in quilombola and 
indigenous communities. There is no democracy in the country. We have a 
permanent tyranny against the working class, and even more brutal 
against black women. Therefore, these "administrators" of the capitalist 
crisis, as well as men in the same role, pose as an obstacle to the 
autonomous organization of the people, the emancipation of the 
proletariat and the Brazilian revolution. We cannot have illusions with 
"inclusive capitalism".

We black, peripheral, indigenous, quilombola women know that in 
capitalism we will always lose out. Therefore, we understand that the 
solution will be made by and for us, women of the people, developing 
networks of mutual support, self-defense committees in places of study, 
housing and work, paving ways to overcome capitalist exploitation and 
the various oppressions that plague us. . This revolutionary 
construction begins by creating our autonomy, our struggle, our 
organizations and not by strengthening state and capitalist power.

For the revolutionary fury of women!
For Women's Lives!
For the end of the State and Capitalism!
For Socialism and Federalism!
