Care Work, Women’s Surname, Feminist Popular Education | Issue #16
Hello, sisters of the world!
We held the webinar “Socialize Care Work: Feminist Experiences and Struggles” in June this year with guests from the Basque Country, Angola, Ecuador, and Colombia. After decades of organization, mobilization, and struggle, and the recent experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, care today has arguably been included in the public agenda in different parts of the world. We published a synthesis of this discussion about the experiences of feminist movement-thought that help us understand the battles around care.
In August, the Berta Cáceres International Feminist Organizing School (IFOS) for Facilitators held an on-site edition in Honduras. During the activity, Verônica del Cid, of the Mesoamerican Popular Education Network—Red Alforja, introduced elements about feminist popular education. “Feminist popular education allows us to discuss: what do we need to constitute ourselves as political subjects? What is the political project we believe in? How are we going to put flesh on this emancipation?”. Read her full lecture here.
We have also recently published an article about feminist struggles in Turkey to ensure the constitutional right to women’s autonomy, to decide about their own names after marriage. “The surname of a married woman serves as a symbolic space surrounded by barbed wire, designed to protect the entrenched power of patriarchy,” Nezahat Doğan Demi̇ray argues. The World March of Women militant writes in her article about this history of struggle and the current context of achievements and challenges.
