2023, a Year of Feminist Struggle and Reunion
Hello, sisters of the world!
We close the year 2023 with a year-in-review piece full of struggles and solidarity, collective ideas and reflections coming from the experiences of women from around the world. It has been a year when defending life, freedom, and the self-determination of the peoples was urgent, as well as fighting imperialism and its wars, sanctions, embargoes, and the criminalization of fighters. We have come together again in feminist internationalism building spaces. We said goodbye to sisters who have been fundamental to our struggle; we created collective forms of memory and kept on building grassroots feminism.
At Capire, we have amplified the voices of militant women with 19 interviews, 25 authored pieces of writing, and 31 accounts of experiences, plus video and audio content. We have published exclusive content and also partnered with other counter-hegemonic media outlets and grassroots movements. We have striven so that our platform could facilitate conversations, alliances, and exchanges that have furthered the global understanding of grassroots feminism and the urgency of anti-systemic transformation. As our sister Nalu Faria would always tell us, the answers to the problems of the peoples don’t have to be invented by theories, because they are already being done by the peoples themselves. It is up to grassroots feminist communications to record them, share them, and promote a conversation between them, thus strengthening movement building, the feminist political subject, and the concrete practices of internationalism.
In all of these examples, centering the political struggle around the sustainability of life is part of the strategy of the political subjects from each place. Feminist economy, with its disruptive perspective of radical transformation of the social organization, has become an important beacon for the struggles to come. 2024 will be a year of continuities and expansion of political processes and our steps that come from a long way. As the Cuban poet Nancy Morejón wrote, may we get inspiration from the struggles that have been already waged so that “the world would be reborn in its turn, that the whole sea would be reborn.”
