This fascinating video from Black Rose, our sister organisation in the USA brings together
a panel discussion on anarchist feminism and social movement organizing speakers from the
US, Chile & Argentina. ---- The speakers are Romina Akemi from BRRN-LA, Lorena Mans from
Frente de Organizaciones en Lucha (from Argentina) and Inger Flem Soto from La Alzada –
Accion Feminista Libertaria (from Chile) at the Gal Palace. ---- Both feminism and
anarchism contain many contradictory currents within them. Slapping two such contradictory
ideologies together with the weak glue of a single hyphen does not magically create a
single new unified ideology. Instead, anarcha-feminism contains many different
perspectives within it. In order to better understand our diverse perspectives on doing
feminist organizing within social movements, we need to shine a light on those differences
and have an honest discussion about what anarchism means for us, what feminism means for
us, and what anarcha-feminism means for us.
We need to be asking questions that push us to come to terms with what anarcha-feminism
really means for us, and what it means for our work in building social movements.
Questions like: What are the challenges the working-class women face today? How can we
make working-class issues central to feminist organizing? What would it mean to escalate
feminist struggle on our own terms instead of trailing the coat-tails of liberal feminism?
How can we expand the struggle for reproductive rights by taking the offensive instead of
defensive strategy?
