The true origin of March 8... a terrible, bloody and unjust killing.

Despite the cheerful and vindictive connotation of March 8, International Women's Day, what is really remembered each year on this date is the terrible slaughter of 120 women workers in a textile factory in New York. The police murdered them in terrible burdens during a demonstration demanding better working conditions.

The story goes back more than 100 years, specifically on March 8, 1875, when hundreds of working women of a textile factory in New York marched through the streets against low wages, less than half of what they were charged. mens. That day ended with 120 women killed by police brutality and caused the workers to found the first women's union.

On March 25, 1911, one of the biggest disasters in the industry in the United States took place again. 146 workers died in a big fire of a textile factory because of landslides, burns and smoke poisoning and others committed suicide by not having escape.

Those responsible for those deaths were the owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory, which had sealed the doors of the stairs and exits to prevent employees from stealing. This terrible tragedy brought important changes in the labor legislation and caused the birth of the International Trade Union of Textile Women Workers.

It was not until 1909 when Socialist Women's Day in the US was held for the first time, on February 28. In 1910, the II International Conference of Socialist Women established March 8 as the International Day of Working Women.

The Russian feminist Alexandra Kollontai, who among other things won the vote for women or the legality of divorce, managed to establish March 8 as the official holiday in the Soviet Union. In Spain it began to be commemorated in 1936 and the UN made official this date in 1975.

On March 8, organizations that fight for gender equality in more than 40 countries have called for a global women's strike. 
The feminist mobilizations multiply and gain visibility in increasingly wider scenarios, spaces and territories. 
A cry of justice and dignity that challenges us and before which nobody can be indifferent. 
On March 8 we all stopped.

The expansion and actuality of feminist thought on a global scale is, without a doubt, one of the signs of this time. Their unprecedented achievements reflect long-standing struggles, achievements and qualitative leaps achieved with tenacity and imagination, but they also express the need shared by the majority of women to face new and persistent forms of gender domination and injustice, at a reactionary counter-offensive that puts at risk the progress already made and the achievement of the pending transformations for us and our societies.

Therefore, this new commemoration of International Women's Day challenges us from a contradictory reality, from the complexity marked by changes achieved towards equality, by the convergence of movements around causes such as the eradication of sexist violence and, at the same time, time, by the rise of reactionary forces fed by the dominant patriarchal neoliberalism, by the display of agendas, actions and discourses that conjugate anti values of selfish individualism, competition, intolerance and social and market authoritarianism.

The ongoing conservative recomposition raises clearly fundamentalist ideas and defenders of patriarchal capitalism. It manipulates the theme of the family, which in the region is the center of social and economic life, and projects false dangers against its cohesion, such as the so-called "gender ideology" that would seek to destroy it. The acceptance of sexual diversity, the deconstruction of the sex-gender relationship, women's bodily autonomy, sexual rights and reproductive rights, as advocated by feminist movements, increasingly come to be considered 'threats' they must be banished.

Currently, the ideas that justify a hierarchical social order have been deepened, even as the driving force of a supposed development and a successful economy. And that order is imposed more and better if the bodies of women, especially the bodies of the poorest, black, indigenous and peasant, are instruments of domesticated production and reproduction. Violence against women is a disciplinary instrument that becomes more virulent to the extent that we fight more clearly for our emancipation.

Patriarchy has always been a privileged scientific, academic, cultural and material ally of capitalist exploitation, which naturalizes discrimination and inequality, so useful to the accumulation and dehumanization of the world.

But in the face of these reactionary forces, which claim to be hegemonic, feminist movements are more vital and more consolidated in our struggles. In recent years we have witnessed great mobilizations with our flags, we have faced the challenges of our historical time, we have not abandoned the pedagogy of equality and freedom. Our rebellion is a guarantee of justice and breadth, our proposals build the civilizational alternatives that humanity needs. We are more and more, we are more organized and we have a clearer and stronger voice. We will not leave the complaint or our active mobilization for the construction of more and better freedoms and rights.

Twinned in the struggles with all the feminist collectives of our region and the world, we join the International Strike of Women 2018.
