Saluting women's struggle for freedom and liberation, HBDH called on women to join the revolutionary struggle against male domination, war, exploitation and violence.
The Executive Committee of the Peoples’ United Revolutionary Movement (HBDH) made a written statement on the occasion of 25 November International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
The statement on Monday said: “We are going through extraordinary days. The entire globe has become a battlefield. The crisis-depression situation arising from the irreconcilable class contradictions between the peoples and capital in the world and revealed by the fact that the male-dominated system has completed its life has deepened the war. On the one hand, the male-dominated system, which has become aggressive with the fear of losing its current sovereignty, and on the other hand, the revolutionary forces fighting with the claim to destroy the old and establish the new.”
“In the current war conditions, the burden of war has once again been placed on the shoulders of women,’ the statement said and continued: “The spark that destroyed the fascist Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic on 25 November 1960 was the anger of the murder of three revolutionary women, the Mirabel Sisters, who ignited this rebellion. From that day until today, we know that women will be liberated through revolution, and we believe that they will triumph with the spirit of united struggle for revolution against all policies of oppression and violence.”
The statement concluded: “We call on women to join the ranks of the United Revolution for a more livable world, for a humane life, for life. We call on them to grow the United Revolution and turn every place where they are present into a battlefield, to make the victory of the Peoples’ United Revolutionary Movement a reality.
On 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, as the Peoples’ United Revolutionary Movement, we salute the struggle for freedom and liberation of all women who have risen up against the male-dominated system, and we respectfully commemorate the Mirabel sisters and all women fighters who became immortal in the struggle for women's freedom.”
