“We are facing a capitalist heteropatriac system that exploits our workforce,” the members of the Basque Country Feminist Movement warned at the press conference on Monday in Pamplona. As for the international day of working women, they stress that Friday is a day of struggle, so important for feminists, not for celebration.

This year they also want to take the opportunity to influence all areas of life and have organized demonstrations in neighbourhoods, towns and cities. The Feminist Movement of Euskal Herria has called for the main mobilizations for the afternoon: in Baiona at 18:00 from the Plaza de la Casa Consistorial, in Vitoria at 18:00 from the Plaza de San Antón, in San Sebastian at 18:30 from the Tunnel of La Antigua, in Bilbao at 19:00 from the Plaza Sagrada Corazón and at 19:00

The past M8 announced a general feminist strike to reclaim the public and community care system. Four months after A30, they have denounced that the institutions are still being heard and have accused the Basque Government of “filling the mouth of fine words” with the CAV’s custody pact: “They are in the attempts to become aware of our discourse”. They say that the current care system is based on “exploitation” and denounce that migrant women bear the burden of care: “Many of them work 24 hours as resident household employees seven days a week, and that is unacceptable!” They explain to the authorities of Navarra and the CAPV that they do not want a pact if there is no specific budget and plan to comply with the conditions of publication, the end of privatisation, even the abolition of the Aliens Act.

The needs of women in the mercantilist logic

There's no business with our lives. Take responsibility! As the motto says, the Feminist Movement has emphasized that “mercantilist logics” contain all the basic needs of women’s lives: care, food, housing, health, etc. Likewise, they are ratified in the need for profound cultural and institutional changes to cope with the multiple violence suffered by women in daily life: physical, economic, symbolic, institutional...

On 8 March they wanted to remind women and girls who have suffered the consequences of male violence, murdered, raped, harassed and expelled from home. “Systemic violence against women* perpetuates gender and power inequalities through social, political and economic structures,” they have criticized. They have determined that the Aliens Act leaves women migrated to Europe “in a situation of absolute vulnerability” to numerous violence. They are calling for racism to be rejected.

They have also reminded Palestine and especially Palestinian women. The Feminist Movement denounces the massacre they are suffering and shows its solidarity: “We know that women’s bodies are the first territories of conquests.”
