Liberation is our right; solidarity is our strength!
It has been more than 1.5 years since the Handover of Power to the Taliban in Afghanistan by the US and NATO countries and more than 5 months since the revolutionary uprising in Iran. We welcome you to join forces and make noise on March 8th, 2023, the international day of feminist fights. In Afghanistan, millions of girls have been banned from secondary and high schools for over 534 days, and now women* are banned from all forms of education workforce to the extent of going to parks. This is Gender Apartheid, parallel to its humanitarian crisis. We demand immediate sustainable action from the international community. In Iran, after 44 years and more of systematic oppression, the outcry following Jîna's death breathed new life into the already existing feminist movements, which are repeatedly met with inexplicable levels of tyranny and brutality. With this historical momentum, it is more important than ever to carry the feminist message of the Jîna Revolution to the world, a revolution that opposes more than just patriarchal oppression; it opposes all forms of domination and subjugation. Despite the similarities in the fight against patriarchy, we see the necessity of shining the light on these movements separately, as there are continuous negotiations made in world politics on the instrumentalization of women* bodies. We will stand alongside the freedom fighters, who have reminded us that the oppression of women*, workers*, and racialized, queer, trans, and non-binary people are intertwined and can only be liberated together. We demand an immediate cease of trade agreements and any sort of negotiations with terrorist organizations such as the Taliban or the Islamic Republic. We call for an end to the instrumentalization of these feminist movements for geopolitical strategies from NATO and the US. Let us make our visions a reality by opposing all ruling classes and hegemonic structures together!
