Liaison Newsletter – March 2009
23-03-2009
Dear sisters,
As we are putting the finishing touches to the first edition of our International Newsletter for 2009, many of you will be busy with the final preparations for the mobilisations of the 8th March, International Women’s Day and symbol of women’s continued struggle for an end to inequalities, exploitation and discrimination.
In the global context of the capitalist crisis – embodied in financial, food, environmental and ethical crises – activists from the WMW around the world will have raised their voices once more against the patriarchal and capitalist systems that oppress, and discriminate against, women of all nationalities, cultures, religions and classes. We affirm that we won’t allow our governments to socialise the losses and privatise the gains, under the guise of ‘saving the economy from the financial crisis’, nor continue their policies of economic growth at all costs – to the environment, to labour rights, to essential public services, to women’s rights. We demand the reorganisation of production and consumption based on the sustainability of human life, as stated in the first two articles of this special edition of the Newsletter “A Feminist Response to the Financial Crisis”…
We demand that our voices and demands are heard and acted upon!
We will not be silenced!
Women on the March until we are All Free!
Highlights of this edition:
- Two articles about the financial crisis, women and feminism
- WSF 2009: Sharing Experiences for Another World Possible
- News from Palestine, Europe, Ecuador, Kenya and Mexico
