✊🏻💜 Statement from the Antifascist International in Commemoration of International Women’s Day
Today, March 8, 2025, from the Antifascist International, we raise our voices in a collective song to honor International Women’s Day. This day is not just a date on the calendar, but an echo that resonates in the heart of history, a tribute to the unyielding light of women who, with their hands, dreams, and courage, have woven the threads of resistance and hope.
Women, beacons in the darkness, have been the guardians of life and the warriors of freedom. With steady feet and gazes that defy the horizon, they have walked over the ruins of fascism, patriarchy, and injustice. They have been the sowers of rebellion, the forgers of futures, those who, with their serene strength and inner fire, have transformed pain into struggle and struggle into victories.
Today, we remember the women who, like mighty rivers, have torn down the walls of oppression. Those who, like shooting stars, illuminated the darkest paths with their bravery. Those who, like ancient trees, have provided shelter and roots for the generations to come. Their heroism is not just an act; it is a legacy that lives on in every step we take toward freedom.
But this day is not just a song to the past; it is a promise to the future. Because there are still women who bear the weight of inequality, who face violence and discrimination with a dignity that inspires us to keep fighting. Fascism and patriarchy remain shadows that threaten the light of equality, and it is our duty, as comrades in struggle, to eradicate them with determination and love.
From the Antifascist International, we call on all people to join in this cry that knows no borders. For a world where women can walk without fear, where their laughter is free and their dreams know no limits. A world where justice is not a utopia, but an embrace that shelters us all.
For the women who, like flowers in the desert, have bloomed amid adversity!
For those who, like storms, have torn down the foundations of oppression!
For those who, like dawns, herald a new sunrise!
With this cry and rebellious song, we summon a great virtual gathering of women fighters against fascism, next March 18 at 11 a.m., Venezuela time, land of freedom from fascism. Together, we will prevail.
