Paraguayan Women Call for Strengthening Alliances of Working Class
Asunción, Mar 8 (Prensa Latina)
Women associated with various indigenous and peasant
organizations of Paraguay called to strengthen alliances
in all sectors of the working class in the country and
the city.
In the policy statement read in
front of the National Pantheon of Heroes, on the
occasion of International Women's Day, Magui Balbuena,
National Coordinator of Organizations of Rural Workers
and Indigenous Women, denounces the evils that afflict
society and women from Paraguay.
The text
indicates that the economic model of capitalist
production in force in Paraguay and in the region, "is
the killer of the peasant family agriculture," and
promotes violence against women and create adverse
working conditions.
Based on these serious
problems, Paraguayan peasant and indigenous women raised
as key challenges the strengthening of alliances in all
sectors of the working class in the country and the
city.
They also call to facilitate greater
inclusion of native women in decision spaces, work on
self-esteem and fight for native seeds and native
species to safeguard and protect the present and future
of humanity.
Based on these challenges, the Latin
American Coordination of Rural Organizations and other
structures associated to Via Campesina, set out to
develop a women's forum in November and strengthen the
World March of Women, Chapter Paraguay, among other
proposals. |
