International Women’s Day 2021: The future is feminist

Our future is feminist. It is made of the sum of our fights, our battles and our struggles. Because we are strong, determined and unwavering, we demand a feminist society that embodies our progressive values. Turning back the clock, returning to “normal” and the status quo are not an option. What we want is a society that unites our diverse voices and backgrounds and recognizes the intersectionality of oppressions; a society that finally meets our needs and respects the rights and dignity of all women. It is with confidence and hope that we commit ourselves to this other world woven of freedom, solidarity, justice, peace and equity.

There will be other crises. To address the urgency to act, the future must be feminist, inclusive and ecological, or it will not be.

A feminist society: not utopia, the solution.
