A billion. Fifty times the population of Chile. It's not an individual problem, it's a social problem.
The solution has to be social, to the community, and also to the strength of women, because those who suffer from violence are not passive victims, they are strong people.
The friends of the feminist FEDAS group invited us to join a global activity against violence against women, against the love that is different in these romantic days, which is different from the violence of the other days of the year.
We are here to dance.
We welcome you to the invitation to meet with several women today, to demonstrate our support for women.
We are a group of friends of Peñaloleno, a group of Afro dancers, for all women here in the world, feeling and trying to be more aware of each other, it implies being human.
A billion people dance, it will help change things.
I think that the dance is necessary and in this country it is very, very limited, that is why people are not sad, troubled.
So it is an easy way to heal, it is the dance.
It is a way to heal the body and the heart.
So obviously I do believe in what to dance.
Where a million women are suffering, or are they going to suffer?
We dance and dance, there are millions of women in the world.
We dance and dance, there are millions of women in the world.
We dance and dance, there are millions of women in the world.
We reconnect with our old heart, called now utero.
And your senses nourish our being.
Don't go in and connect with the earth, patchaka and women.
For one who wakes up, a million gets up.
For one who falls, a million gets up.
For one who dances, a million gets up.
For one who sings, a million gets up.
At least I felt the desire to dance, because I think it is enough to be afraid of the shame, to express, to have fear of what the other could think,
just to be and to express a way to communicate with our body and our voice,
to take our voice out for things that do not come out all day in the news.
And in that union, we are not empowered by what we are as a person,
I think they want to start changing, changing things.
That's why I dance today.
Because a lot of people join together to send positive energy, to dance, to laugh,
to think of beautiful things, good things instead of pain and harm.
I think they change things.
When you are expressing yourself with your body, with your words, with your expressions, physical and body,
violence reproduces more violence.
And if with your body you are demonstrating love, joy, happiness, respect, peace,
then it is also reproducing that.
Yes, and I think that dancing one or seeing people dancing with happiness always brings attention.
I don't know if you noticed that there were many people who started dancing,
who were not part of the group originally,
a lady came and took this poster and separated like half an hour,
and she, with her children, was like this.
I love her.
It is beautiful, it is a way of sharing the message,
making the world how we want it to be, with love and good energy.
Thank you.
