Claims for the right to custody and against violence

  • In Ipar Euskal Herria there has been a feminist strike in the M8 and in Hego Euskal Herria there have been mass demonstrations in the afternoon in cities and towns. On the road to the general feminist strike on November 30, International Working Women’s Day has also received messages of change in the surveillance system, claiming that it must be public and community, and the message of the demonstration’s top banner has been in many villages “there is no business with care” or similar.

Unions and feminist groups in the continental Basque Country have joined a feminist strike in the French State on 8 March and the strike has been carried out in three areas: paid work, care and consumption. All the unions have joined the call of the feminist movement and have gone on strike throughout the day, in the afternoon they have made a demonstration in Baiona. In the chronicle of Jenofa Berhokoirigoin, a multitude of demands have been heard: the end of the wage gap, the protection of public services and the end of privatizations, the recognition and fair distribution of care, the conditions to guarantee the right to abortion, absolute freedom for LGBTQI people, the end of systemic violence against disabled people, the end of sexist violence....

 

Union concentration in relation to the City of Baiona.
In Hego Euskal Herria, support for the public surveillance system predominates.

Thousands of citizens have claimed the right to custody on the street and have recalled that the only way to achieve this right for all is to mobilise it. They have also talked about the custodial pact being developed by the Basque Government and called for guarantees that custody will be for everyone: "If you do not talk about being public, if you do not talk about ending privatisation and do not talk about ending the Aliens Act, we are not going anywhere."

Claims for multiple violence

In addition to the right to surveillance, other specific issues and problems related to violence have been reflected in each place, as reported by the chronicle of Maite Asensio in Berria. For example, that of the oppressed and heraldic in Palestine (Villabona, among others), that of women suffering machista violence (in Baiona, among others), that of trans and non-heteronormative (in San Sebastian, among others), the stigma and infantilization suffered by prostitutes (in Vitoria, among others), the feminist justice (in Pamplona).

“It will be whoever you want”
“He has this between his legs, but he will decide if he is a child” – a fashionable phrase from progressive parents. It doesn’t create a conversation in the plaza, to see what each person thinks it is to be “girl” or “boy” beyond being a genital among the legs... [+]

Aritz takes many migrants in her car so they don't get run over, so they don't get lost in the darkness of the night and they can safely go back and forth. It is particularly reminiscent of the woman who helped her cross the border between Irun and Hendaia and slept in her house... [+]
