It is a major global celebration that acknowledges the economic, political and social achievements of women and the just demands for equality, justice and dignity. The first celebration of International Working Women\u2019s Day was put forward at the turn of the 20th Century to commemorate the valiant struggle of women workers in the garment industry of New York City, during a period of rapid world industrialization and economic expansion that led to protests over working conditions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On March 8, 1857 in New York City, garment workers protested what they saw as very poor working conditions and low wages.<\/li>\n<li>On March 8, 1908, 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights.<\/li>\n<li>In 1910, the first international women\u2019s conference was held in Copenhagen by the Socialist International and an &#8220;International\u2019s Women\u2019s Day&#8221; was established.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Today,\u00a0women continue to struggle for\u00a0justice, dignity and equal\u00a0rights, demanding to end to exploitive policies that infringe on the physical and psychological integrity of women.<\/p>\n<p>Women are workers, educators, amas de casa, health care advocates, organizers, students, compa\u00f1eras; our aspirations are filled with a rebellious nature and deep convictions, our voices cry out for a new and better world, where we can expand\u00a0liberating\u00a0ideologies and build\u00a0new ones. We know that we will face the persistent threat of oppression and exploitation. It is precisely because of that, that women have always been and are now at the forefront of combating these terrible\u00a0conditions. This is what makes a revolutionary woman that much more needed in the struggle to build a socialist society where we can combat violence and ensure that progress and solidarity flourish.<\/p>\n<p>We reject that\u00a0war and prisons must\u00a0be the future for our children. We reject\u00a0the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and World Bank, imperial Free Trade Agreements, all designed to continue to subjugate the vast of majority of humanity, and women in particular. Imperialism has imposed its neo-colonial dominance of the \u201cGlobal South\u201d and disempowers the world\u2019s working masses and people. These institutions of the rich ruling classes are the reasons that women&#8217;s\u00a0rights and unions, living wages and benefits, humane working conditions and basic rights still do not exist for the vast majority of humanity, subjecting workers to displacement and exploitation. We say enough is enough.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t want to be uprooted from our homes, forced to work in far away lands, subjected to violence. We know that we must stand firmly in the belief that equality, respect and dignity can only be obtained through national liberation, a quest for self-determination, with equal standing as\u00a0women. We know that we must overturn\u00a0capitalism and colonialism for women to be free, equal, and to win respect and dignity. It is up to all of us to keep focus on that goal.<\/p>\n<p>Compa\u00f1eras, we thank you for your renewed and strengthened commitment to resist and struggle against exploitation and oppression.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">\u00a1El Pueblo Unido, Jam\u00e1s Ser\u00e1 Vencido!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&#8220;Mujeres En Lucha&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0Links for Political Education from UdB <a href=\"http:\/\/aguilaycondor.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AguilayCondor.net<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/aguilaycondor.net\/pgs\/nuestra\/area_info\/aztlan\/patmarin\/pm_main.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Life of Patricia Mar\u00edn<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/aguilaycondor.net\/pgs\/nuestra\/n_a_sec8\/n_a_sec8_pg1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ley Revolucionaria de Mujeres<\/a> (EZLN).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aguilaycondor.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AguilayCondor.net<\/a> was established as a resource for the introductory political education and ideological formation of Uni\u00f3n del Barrio members and supporters.
