Compañeras and sisters:
We want to share a few words with you as we close this Second International Gathering of Women Who Struggle.
We have listened to the words and proposals everyone has shared in each of our work sessions as well as other proposals that have been made.
We are going to create a space for all of you to see these ideas and proposals, as well as others that emerge, and offer your own words and opinions. This is for those of you who were able to attend this gathering and have returned to your own geographies with time to think and reflect on what we saw and heard here these last few days, and above all it is for those of you who could not attend.
We think this is important because if we don’t listen to each other as the women that we are, then we aren’t really women who struggle for all women, but only for our own group, idea, or organization and that won’t do at all.
While it may be easy to say that we are going to think about and reflect on these proposals, in reality it is difficult, because even for that process we need to be organized.
With that in mind, we propose this first agreement:
- We all learn about the proposals made here and make our own proposals regarding violence against women and what we will to do stop this serious problem we have as women.
Do you all agree?
