The Women's World Cup is here, as part of our process of struggle and resistance,
which is a global process that is not just part of a specific activity
in front of one event or another, but is a global process of resistance to capitalism,
which is patriarchal and which is expanding more and more
to the mercantilization of nature at all levels.
So we understand as a strategic moment for us to strengthen our struggles
and our alliances to continue our resistance both at local and international level.
So for us it is a moment to position again feminism as part of this global confrontation
or patriarchal capitalism.
We are seeing how today's market mechanisms are appropriating the work of women,
of the women's time, as if it were an inexhaustible resource of the system
in the same way it does with nature.
So we see that the market mechanisms end up instrumentalizing our work
in all regions of the planet.
So for us, on the one hand, it is important to show how this process is done,
to say that we do not just want gender to be included in the negotiations
of the market mechanism, we want to show that there is no way
that the market mechanisms that are false solutions to the climate crisis
solve the problem of women and the people.
So our idea here is precisely to show in a feminist perspective
how this mercantilization of life is interconnected in all spheres,
nature, work, machismo, and all that.
It is because in every woman's world they are responsible,
especially with the work of sustainability of human life.
So when you see an environmental disaster,
when you see spaces with more impact, the pollution of the industries,
the impact of people's health, you see that women are taking care
of the survival of the community, to ensure the quality of life.
So the impact is more on us, because we are responsible for taking care of life.
So when a general impact comes, we give a shock from the work of women.
So this is the vision of the impacts.
And on the other hand, we also have the alternatives.
In every woman's world, they are building agroecology,
they are fighting for food sovereignty.
So women are also promoting the true solutions of the people
against the false solutions of the market.
First, we need equality.
We need to have equality-building mechanisms.
Climate justice for us has a very strong equality dimension,
which means that women have to have autonomy about their body,
autonomy about their life, about their work,
that women have to live a free life of violence,
that has to live relations, equality between men and women
in all the spaces of life.
So our dimension of climate justice is in this sense,
it needs necessarily to have an aspect of,
to focus on the sexual division of work,
that sustains capitalism today, sustains inequality between men and women.
So our debate about climate justice,
our fight for climate justice,
has to necessarily have these dimensions of equality.
And from this, we do the most global struggles
in relation to movements.
So for food sovereignty, in defense of agroecology,
in defense of energy sovereignty,
which is also the right of us to define what our energy demands are.
So climate justice for us is this dimension of another system,
of a new paradigm of human sustainability
that builds equality between men and women as well.
We have a slogan that we will continue to march
until we are all free,
so that it does not stop in a negotiation,
in a COP, it does not stop in Rio Mais Vinte,
it does not stop in an event like this.
This for us is a process that has to necessarily strengthen
our fight and our daily resistance
and locate in our territories,
together with the allied movements.
