Barcelona: Anarcho-Feminist Conference
<br>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
<br>
This year - 2010 - the CNT celebrates 100 years since it was
founded, in a context very different from today's. For this reason, we
want to
analyze and reflect on the path that this class-struggle union has
followed
throughout its history and examine its role today. There is no doubt
that the
people who have been members of the CNT have mostly been women and men
with a
capacity for critical thought, sometimes well ahead of their time, and
there
have been times when the CNT has played a vital role, as in the social
revolution of 1936. Today we ask ourselves how it sees itself as a
union that
fights against every form of authority, and especially against
something as
important as patriarchy which, along with capitalism, inhibits the
freedom of
many living beings and is destroying the planet.
<br>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
<br>
So, this Feminist Conference arise from the need of various
female members of the CNT to visualize the vital role that women play
in the
anarchist movement, to reflect on the connection between anarchism and
feminism, to challenge traditional gender roles, female and male, on
which
patriarchy are based.
<br>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
<br>
The Conference on Women and Anarchism will be an opportunity
to get closer to the realities of female militancy. We intend to
analyze,
discuss and highlight the participation and organization of women who
identify
with libertarian principles without giving up their gender identity. We
want to
see the problems that affect us as women in the various areas where we
operate:
labour, educational, organizational, health, emotional, etc., and the
problems
arising from a patriarchal and capitalist society such as ours that
affects us
and our comrades, male and female alike.
<br>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
<br>
To this end, we will try to deal with the subject on two
levels: one level is our own situation as female workers and union
activists in
a class-struggle, revolutionary and libertarian union, covering the
historical
perspective and the needs that we see today. The second level is
feminist
women's participation in the various organizations that seek to
contribute to
social change. We are interested in highlighting these daily struggles,
the
projects that result from them, the difficulties that exist and the
contradictions that we encounter. We also wish to work on these aspects
by
collecting multiple experiences from the past and others that are in
progress
today all over the world.
<br>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
<br>
To try to cover these objectives, we have organized five
topics:
<br>
1. Women, work and the union
<br>
2. A historical reference: the Mujeres Libres
<br>
3. Anarcho-feminism: organized women
<br>
4. Women in the press and propaganda of The Idea
<br>
5. Sexual diversity and anarchism.
<br>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
<br>
Everyone is invited to participate in these reflections on our/your
part so that we can try to get closer to achieving our/your utopian
society.
<br>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
<br>
Let our thoughts become action.
