Let us not leave them alone

Women's freedom was the banner of the 'liberators' and is the very first target of the Taliban who have taken back Afghanistan. Let us unite to ask our governments for welcome and humanitarian corridors for women and girls. There is no "us" and "them". We all pay the price for the deeds of foolish men.

Women's freedom had been the banner of the Western 'liberators'. And women's freedom is the very first target of the Taliban restoration in Afghanistan.

No more school, the teachers' heartbreaking farewell to their pupils, away from work - places are only for men -, recluses again, the obligation to have a male guardian always at their side, the young girls without husbands and the widows sacrificed to the needs of the warriors, the prison of veils and burkas fished out of trunks.

Every sign of female freedom, even the advertising posters, in these hours is being meticulously erased by the old-new masters of the countrywelcomed as liberators from the yoke of the West, as they swiftly advanced towards Kabul, without encountering any resistance, to re-found the 'European Union'.Islamic Emirate.

Non lasciamole sole, non lasciamoci sole

From the very beginning, women's bodies have been pawns, targets and playing fields in a game between men: torturers, jihadists, soldiers, 'liberators', democracy peddlers, businessmen, corrupt, cowardly fugitives, traitors.

The consequences of what the media nowadays call the "debacle of the West" and the new Vietnam are currently incalculable. But there is no need for any calculation to know what will happen to Afghan women: we are already seeing it, we have already seen it for centuries to come, the flesh of all of us bears the signs, from mother to daughter, violence and oppression.

There is no us and them. What is happening to them - being erased, disappearing - can also happen to us. Their struggle, their resistance is also ours.

The men's game has been and continues to be a failure, and not only in Afghanistan. All their games are ending badly. And we women, everywhere in the world, are the first to pay the price for the deeds of foolish men.

We must unite and activate our international networks to demand with one voice to the governments of our countries to arrange reception and to organise humanitarian corridors for women and girls. (at the Kabul airport, only men are seen trying to escape).

We must not leave Afghan women and girls alone because we must not leave ourselves alone.

Let's not leave them alone.

Spain: Ley Trans at the centre of the election campaign
The popular Isabel Dìaz Ayuso, newly elected president of the Madrid region, promises that an eventual centre-right government will change the highly contested Ley Trans approved by the Sanchez government, which introduced free gender identity. In defence of the Constitution and above all the rights of women and children as well as freedom of opinion. Decisive theme in view of the political elections next 23 July
In Spain, biopolitical issues have also become major topics and are playing a decisive role in the election campaign. In the run-up to the general elections on 23 July, there is already talk of changing the laws on gender identity, less than six months after the approval of the Ley Trans wanted by ex-minister Irene Montero of Podemos, a political formation that almost died out in the last local elections. The first to speak about it was the newly elected president of the Madrid region, Isabel Díaz Ayuso del [...]

For the true good of children
Demanding the full transcription of birth certificates for those born from surrogacy and other assisted fertilisation practices, rejecting the path of adoption by 'intended' parent (stepchild) indicated by the Court of Cassation and validated in these hours by the European Court of Human Rights, harms minors in the first instance. And deprives them of those rights they claim to want to defend: our communiqué
We of the Network for the Inviolability of the Female Body, RadFem Italia and FINAARGIT ((International Feminist Network Against All Artificial Reproduction, Gender Ideology and Transhumanism) with the support of all the associations worldwide that oppose so-called gestation for others, from Ciams to Stop Surrogacy Now, and eminent international feminist personalities such as Sylviane Agacinski, Gena Corea, Phyllis Chesler and Jennifer Lahl - We reiterate our condemnation of the practice and renew our hope that the 'universal offence' of surrogacy, currently in [...]

The British prime minister: 'We will guarantee women their reserved spaces'
Vigorous change of wind in the UK after years of prevailing Lgbtq+ misogyny: against the invasion of toilets, women's locker rooms and safe houses by men who self-identify as women, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promises a reform of the Equality Act. As demanded by a petition signed by over 100,000 people, it will have to be based on biological sex and not on 'gender identity'. Also announced are new guidelines on'sex education and alias careers at school: decisive issues in view of the upcoming elections
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has declared that he will change the Equality Act 2010 to protect single-sex spaces reserved for women, stating that biological sex is 'fundamental and important'. The move follows concerns about the lack of clarity in current legislation on the issue, which could allow so-called MtoF trans people to access spaces reserved for women even though they are biologically male. "I have been very clear that when it comes to issues [...]

YES TO THE ITALIAN LAW ON THE UTERUS FOR RENT AS A UNIVERSAL CRIME: THE APPEAL OF ALL THE WORLD'S LEADING ABOLITIONIST NETWORKS
CIAMS, STOP SURROGACY NOW, FINRRAGE, LA JAPAN COALITION and other associations. And together with them such eminent figures of international feminism as SYLVIANE AGACINSKI, GENA COREA and PHYLLIS CHESLER. Who together with us are asking the Italian parliamentarians to approve the law that will pass the Chamber of Deputies on 19 June.
Rete per l'Inviolabilità del Corpo Femminile (Network for the Inviolability of the Female Body), Radfem Italia, and FINAARGIT (International Feminist Network Against Artificial Reproduction, Gender Ideology and Transhumanism) have always shared the goal of the universal abolition of the surrogate motherhood. Together we support the bill on surrogacy that will be debated in the Chamber of Deputies next 19 June, which extends the punishability of the practice even if it is carried out in a foreign country and which is a decisive step forward in the direction of universal abolition, offering -if approved- a model for other legislations [...].

Who cooked Adam Smith's dinner? For a RadFem economic theory, speech by Sheila Jeffreys
The traditional economy based on the 'rational' homo oeconomicus never takes into account the base of the iceberg: the huge amount of unpaid female labour without which the system simply would not stand. The necessary change does not come from the inclusion of more women in a model that is based on aggression, gambling and risk, but from a new paradigm that places the value of people, relationships and care at the centre
At a recent seminar organised by Women's Declaration International as part of its Radical Feminist Perspectives series, Sheila Jeffreys -former professor of political science at the University of Melbourne and one of the founders of the global WDI network- gave a talk on Rad Fem Economic Theory (the entire meeting can be viewed here). Jeffrey started from a text she wrote in 2010, on the heels of the global financial crisis. It was called 'Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner', whose thought completely omitted the [...]

Spain: woke sex also among the reasons for the end of Podemos
Ley Trans. Only Yes is Yes' law that reduced penalties for sex offenders. And now also a Manifesto for Sex Education for All* that jeopardises the safety of girls and boys. The spirit is always the same: a queer sexuality promoted by outgoing minister Irene Montero. Which, however, voters and electors apparently do not like. An analysis by lecturer Juana Gallego, feminist affected by the cancel culture
In yesterday's local elections in Spain, the left lost disastrously - as in Italy, for that matter. In particular, there was the stinging defeat of Podemos, which in many regions almost went extinct. In the analyses of the Spanish vote, perhaps not enough emphasis is given to two manifesto-laws of Podemos, and in particular of the transfeminist minister Irene Montero: the 'Only Yes is Yes' law, which reduced penalties for sexual crimes, and the Ley Trans, which [...]
