On 10 , 11 October 12th and held the XXIV National Meeting of Women in Tucumán. First the CEHUM traveled with a delegation of students organized by the Secretariat for Women.
After more than 20 hours of travel we arrived at the sunny city and gradually many women were arriving from around the country. The meeting was held in Tucumán which marked another anniversary of the disappearance of Marita Veron victim of trafficking and prostitution networks.
The landscape of the three provinces to cross during the journey, with its dry, very humble home on the side of the road, the women at 6 am stationed near their huts to sell some of the crafts they make, they realized that this meeting did not have to be one more. Because the global economic crisis will get much worse the situation of women, workers and the poor. And it had to be one because along with the layoffs that are increasing day by day, the rate hikes, the de-funding of health, and so on, are the women and workers of Kraft-ex Terrabusi that for more than two months are fighting the 160 layoffs, employers face an imperialist government and the union bureaucracy. Because many women are fired for demanding, given the epidemic of Influenza A, security measures and hygiene and many were pregnant, and also for their children who attend day care business. This multinational Yankee, owned the second richest man in the world, refused to spend a few cents to the / workers. At this meeting came together women who begin to pave the way to deal with the crisis, the heroic workers of Kraft to women's health Tucumán being made strikes and protests because of the flu product lost two colleagues, women Garrahan the commission of the struggle for freedom of Romina Tejerina, mothers of Plaza de Mayo Founding Line and daughters of missing persons, etc .-
were also the Honduran women who are on the front line facing resistance to the coup, as well as representatives of other Latin American countries.
During the meeting the delegation of the Women's Bureau was involved in the workshops telling the situation of women in Bahia Blanca, the fight for free abortion for most women do not die, facing the Church unfortunately continues to be involved to keep us organize the reporting of thousands of women who fall into the potato and prostitution networks, and we also have the important experience that has stood CEHUM an organization for women we organize, discuss and fight for our rights.
From Bread and Roses together with independent partners raised at each of the workshops that this meeting should not be one more, if we have to take this opportunity to transform it into a tool of struggle to cope with the crisis, we proposed to spearhead Terrabusi women with a banner denouncing the dismissals and the government crackdown as a way to collaborate with their fight and prove that women are standing, no meetings and wants the church and the government only to "chat" two days on our problems and turn to our homes, but we are women we organize, we mobilized and face repression to defend our rights, as did the workers of Terrabusi. Unfortunately, organizations like the CCC (college stream) and the Church that are part of the organizing committee refused to allow the movement is headed by a banner denouncing the repression of women Kirchner Terrabusi and the requirement that all dismissed are reinstated.
The next meeting will be held in Paraná, Entre Rios and have a whole year to prepare and travel from Bahia Blanca with a large delegation.
believe it is very important to develop the Women's Secretariat, to meet and fight. Women Terrabusi marked her way from our place and we can start building a strong organization for our rights.
