We want the next few years for women ---- March 8, nothing to celebrate on this date that
marks to his credit, in Italy, have as many as 10 women killed at the hands of ex,
friends, husbands, boyfriends. ---- After centuries of silence, Italy finally discovers
femicide. And the woman tissue (item for sale) gives way to the female victim (victims of
violence). ---- Sacrosanct to account for the increase in gender-based violence, undermine
the silence of the system and report the absence of support networks. But the media
attention to the extreme victimization remains at best complaint, favors the brave women,
often obscuring the irregular and women most vulnerable (prostitutes, foreigners, trans),
denied the right to speak to the victim, usually dead, to leave to all those who are
around. Still, still, women are rendered null.
And 'the deep economic crisis, cuts to social exclusion from the labor market to reduce
them again to the angels of the hearth relegated to the role of caretakers or mothers'
loving to force "inaccessible because of the cost of day care centers, schools mother and
the disappearance of full-time schools, disastrous economic situation, families, at best,
a single income, season of discontent, hardship and sacrifice, which leads women to be
increasingly exposed to gender-based violence, violence that is manifested by way in
different forms which can lead when extreme. The economic dependence on the partner often
gives rise to psychological violence determined by having to ask for money in the house to
handle the needs "primary" of the family in strenuous slalom in search of the cheapest
discount.
But to make us strong need that we start to talk about the work, rights, to claim a space
just for women. The material conditions of women's lives depends on their ability to free
themselves from oppressive constraints, more or less conscious, and open up spaces of
freedom and transformation.
If capitalism has always been considered a reserve army for the labor market, workers have
fought for centuries against the subordination to the logic of an economy female only
useful as a support to the family, which could then be satisfied, an economic value lower.
If in the nineties, compared to a male employment rate remained stable, there has been an
increase in the participation of women in the labor market, this has coincided with a
progressive "feminization" of the labor market that has paved the way for "flexibility" or
the progressive dismantling of the rights of the workers.
And if the feminization of the market has also resulted in the phenomena of de-segregation
in favor of women, but at the expense of a widespread phenomenon of sub-contracting of
maintenance to other women at the same time has increased the number of an application for
work "poor" and favored the process of flexibilization - insecurity. Thus the ideology of
the natural destiny of women in the role of caring for children, the elderly, the sick,
the counter-ideological, the so-called patriarchal and capitalist backlash against radical
feminism and freedom of women in public and private choices, worked the disallowance of
women in their claim to participate in the public space in 360 degrees as actresses
collectively recognized in the social space in the lives of so-called democratic countries.
The short circuit occurred in the (small, boasted more than real) implementation of the
policy of "reconciliation" of time living and working women, carried out so unfortunate
and contradictory together with the gradual dismantling of public welfare. Women were
proposed, and now imposed by the economic crisis, to reconcile their many tasks required
in the workplace and keep up the fates of their families, instead of pointing to a sharing
and co-responsibility in the tasks of care. The progressive privatization of welfare has
done the rest: very high costs of services in the face of very low wages of women, or of
progressive incentives for part-time, are bringing further casualization and the
subsequent exit en masse from the world of work, just in time for the crisis that has long
been prepared and has hit the end of the last decade. The result is there for all and all
of us women who have been forced to suffer heavily culturally and economically flexibility
and insecurity until you reach new levels of poverty that reach levels tragic in the lives
of women separated or divorced with sons. Gender-based violence, a phenomenon that has
always been present and strong in patriarchal society against women who have expressed
desire for independence and autonomy from the rules given as natural and obvious in family
ties, was thus increased because the value of women Capitalism has decreased exponentially
and thus the ability to act effectively instances of freedom that women now live as
necessary for their survival in a world that is becoming more and more oppressive.
This is how feminist anarchist communist propose for this March 8th to focus once again on
the lives and work of women, young and old, urban land and not a single nation, in an
international perspective and European , favoring areas of cultural awareness, economic
and social, leading to a new conflict of women against capitalism that took us to the
target of his desire for destruction of any recognition of the dignity of work and
workers, exploitation, without any rules.
We need to insist on that at this stage in history there is no discrimination further at
the expense of women, already affected, as always, in their most delicate phases of life,
including the right to self-determination.
We want to force a social get together and find solidarity, sisterhood, anger, an anger
constructively to our present and a future that we want and we should not give our young
people and our young people with exploitation, violence, discrimination of ' today.
We want to take back our lives, our awareness of our value, our capabilities, we want to
live a life of dignity, free and informed.
That women today to say enough is enough and to act as a revolutionary subject, in a
common pathway that goes beyond all boundaries, because, after all this is the March 8 and
March 8 is the only one possible. With the hope and the desire to continue to build
throughout the year.
