Cops, you are shit, you are the dictature
70 000 women demonstrate
against the interdiction of abortion and the murder of women
In October, the 31th feminist Congress (Encuentro National de Mujeres)
took place in Rosario, Argentina
In 70 workshops, feminist and leftwing activists from the whole of Latin America
discussed about, among other themes, the right of self-determination and domestic violence.
The meeting is particularly important in Rosario
because Rosario became one of the most violent cities
particularly when it comes to violence against women.
I experienced it myself. As a woman, to walk down one block in Rosario is unpleasant.
When nobody shouts at you, then you meet someone who just starts touching you
Listen, today we came to struggle
It was fantastic to demonstrate with other women
and to hear only women voices who are shouting and singing.
It was impossible not to be touched by it, because you are part of it.
Legal abortion, now!
We do not want more women to die, legalise it at last.
God bless you, I tell you:
I hate you, Vatican, I am the one to decide about my body and my life.
I experienced it in a very close way, a friend of mine had an abortion with medicine
and it was very bad not to be supported by somebody with knowledge
It is horrible. You feel totally defenseless, you feel that your life is in danger.
There are many cases of women who had to go to jail because they had an abortion.
Women who died because of abortion.
State: out of our ovaries!
I am a slut but not yours
Workers' rights for sex workers
I am a socialist, I am against the patriarch, the macho and the capitalist.
The catholic church plays a very big role in Argentina.
This is why the cathedral in Rosario is an important symbol for anti-abortion people.
There, clashes erupted between the demonstrators and the police
and the demonstration was attacked with ruber bullets and tear gas
and dispersed violently.
- My daughter is 20 years old, 20. - Then bring her home
We came to fight for our rights and you repress us.
You shoot at us with rubber bullets, enough!
We want to be heared and the only thing we get is repression.
You attack us with no reason, why don't you let us shout?
-Do you know what a woman's right is? -Don't speak to me, go away!
The police shouted at us: shitty feminists
Their behaviour was deplorable and detestable.
Burn the flag, burn the flag [of the Pope]
In Argentina, a women is killed every 30 hours.
Abortion is still illegal and nobody listens to our demands.
That they kill us seems to be no big deal, but when we write on the walls that's big news..."
