Delegations from every part of the country arrive in the city of Corrientes for the 38th edition of the Plurinational Meeting of Women and Sexual Diversity which will take place on the weekend of November 22, 23 and 24 with workshops, mobilizations and all kinds of activities. The meetings have almost 40 years of history reflecting the organization and demands of the women’s movement and sexual diversity.
On Saturday morning, the opening act to officially begin the meeting and the first activity of the day, which will be the debate workshops. From the stage, poetry readings and dance were performed and the women of the indigenous peoples gave their word.
In the reading of the opening document the claim could be heard for Not One Lessagainst gender violence and femicides, and they asked themselves, where is Loan? demanding justice. There were complaints about the IMF for its interference in the country with an economic plan that only promises more misery for the vast majority and attacks on retirees and retirees who heads the Government repressing them every Wednesday. Also present was the repudiation of genocide in Palestine and the claim by Mekorot, Israel’s state water company, which does business with several provincial states in the country.
The fight against sexist violence will be one of the nodal points of the meeting, not only because of the context where the newspaper headlines talk about double or triple femicidesbut also because the government of Milei transformed gender violence and hate speech into state policy.
The attacks do not end there, since the government, hand in hand with the plan of the FMIpromises to install a labor reform where women and sexual diversity bear the brunt. A panorama that can only be understood by the role of CGT letting each attack pass while negotiating with the Government and with the CTAs discursively opposing without making a real effort to organize all the anger that runs below to confront Milei.
Vanina Mancusofactory worker under worker management Mad and activist of Bread and Rosesstated “We came with a delegation of MadyGraf workers, teachers and young people from all over the country who come to fight this fight to make visible the violence that we experience daily and to confront the Milei labor reform that we know falls on us and diversities, we want to put up a strong fight in the workshops so that a plan of struggle is voted on and we can confront it in the streets.”
From the group of women and sexual diversity that has among its references the PTS/FIT-U deputy, Myriam Bregmanalready the legislator of the City of Buenos Aires, Andrea D’Atrithey emphasized the importance of “give a strong fight to put our movement on its feet” by discussing democratically in each workshopwhich are instances of deliberation where vote on an action plan to emerge stronger from the meeting, promoting organization in each city, neighborhood, places of work and study, and responding in the streets to each attack.
In the afternoon there will be thematic workshops and a series of activities to reflect the fight against sexist violence, a mobilization against transvesticides and a rally for the right to abortion, among others.
