DOSSIER:
[[link removed]]FEMINISM
FROM THE LEFT
[[link removed]]

Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Berlin)

Left-wing feminism links the demand for higher pay with struggles
against gender-based violence. It links the protests against
privatizing health care with a critique of a migration policy that
only tolerates people who bring profit. Lastly, it links questions of
democratic participation with the demand for a redistribution of work
and time.

THE KURDISH FEMINIST REVOLUTION
[[link removed]]

_Rahila Gupta_ / New Internationalist (Oxford)

The Rojava women’s revolution has hardly been covered in the
mainstream media, perhaps in deference to Turkey, a NATO ally, which
sees the movement for Kurdish self-determination as ‘terrorism’
– and is bombing Rojava at the time of writing. In contrast, a
protest movement with the potential to bring down the Islamic regime
of Iran gets unprecedented coverage. Here’s why.

GUATEMALA: MEET THELMA CABRERA
[[link removed]]

_Amy Goodman_ / Democracy Now! (New York)

The Guatemalan Constitutional Court upheld a decision by the
country’s electoral tribunal to bar Indigenous human rights defender
Thelma Cabrera from running. Cabrera and her running mate, former
human rights ombudsman Jordán Rodas, are members of the leftist
political party the Movement for the Liberation of the Peoples.

BLACK TUNISIAN WOMEN SPEAK OUT
[[link removed]]

_Fatma Ben Hamad_ / France 24 (Paris)

Tunisian authorities continue to carry out mass arrests of people from
sub-Saharan Africa as part of a campaign against irregular
migration. Black Tunisian women activists are now speaking out about
this rampant racial profiling, denouncing the racist climate and
showing support for the people targeted by the anti-migrant
campaign.

REMEMBERING BERTA CÁCERES
[[link removed]]

_Gianpaolo Contestabile_ / il manifesto Global (Rome)

This week marks the seventh anniversary of the death of Berta
Cáceres, a leader of the Councils of Indigenous People’s
Organizations of Honduras. In Intibucá, as well as in the many
communities and neighborhoods of Honduras, Berta Cáceres’s life,
her words and her commitment to activism continue to be a role model
for new generations.

Sexism and Feminism in Venezuela
[[link removed]]

_Cira Pascual Marquina_ / Venezuelanalysis (Caracas)

Suzany González Zambrano is an eloquent advocate for the rights of
people – especially women and adolescents – to a safe sexual life
that is free of discrimination, coercion, and violence. She discusses
how Venezuelan feminists, like most in the region, face structural
sexism, plus a reproductive health crisis that has been exacerbated
by US sanctions.
