Although we still do not analyse in depth the collective impact of the pandemic, it is no exaggeration to say that it has left us the demands we have made “our”. One of them is that we must focus care once and for all.

The issue of care is increasingly central in Euskal Herria, because the care crisis demands it and in part brings it, and the Feminist Movement of Euskal Herria must be recognized for the effort it is making to place the tasks of care, workers and models of care organization at the center of the discussion.

The movement has shown that it has no intention of letting the claim “Care for the center!” become a discourse without content. This year has called for the collectivization of surveillance tasks, the increase in the value and professionalization of surveillance work, the construction of an emancipating surveillance model that has agreed and published a list of measures for each objective. It should also be noted that this situation is part of a dynamic that comes after March 8, as the feminist movement has announced that there will be mobilizations that will lead to new steps. Contents, Movement, Structures and Way. Initiative and enthusiasm for a mere claim to become a struggle that can bring about profound changes.

It is unfortunate that while Emakunde is saying “Women up!”, let’s see the cleaners hit from the ground and in the hands of the Ertzaintza. Regrettably, place the lawsuit on the glass ceiling, when there is no political responsibility to break the adhesive floor. Women above, yes, when the responsibility and burden of care is shared. Leaders, yes, in the struggles that seek to revolutionize power relations.
