During National Women

40 years after the first Dolle Mina action in Belgium ginza contacts (1970), 38 years after the first National Women's Day (1972), 36 years after the opening of the first women's centers (1974), 33 years after the creation of the fem-socbeweging (1977 ), 13 years after the establishment of FAM (1997), two years after the establishment of FEL (2008) and two years after the start of this blog (2008) ... [1] There is a lot of organized and campaigned by feminists in Over the past 50 years. ginza contacts But now it's time to look ahead. Where are we now? How do we proceed? And what do we need?
In my bookcase is a handful of activists manuals, mostly from anarchist angle. Can the feminist movement something with that? Whether we focus more on lobbying ginza contacts and equal opportunity organizations? We want a radical change or minor changes in the margin? We behave like an autonomous movement by a broad base or some professional SPECIALISTES (politicae, university research workers) who will do the work for us? Today seems feminist "movement" to consist largely inaccessible gender studies research and harmless equal opportunities policy. I am for the development of a radical movement in which everyone can participate and for collective action ginza contacts to cause a tidal wave that is changing radically our society. Feminist activism of the '60s,' 70s and '80s were an inspiration for me since when women get to work to make the world a feminist. I want to learn from the experiences of previous generations of feminists to know which strategies work and to avoid the mistakes of the past. Done with the small waves followed by backslashes, time for a flood!
During National Women's Day this year (11 November 2010) will be discussing the current ginza contacts state of the women's movement and strategies. How do we reach out? How do we achieve our goal? How we work together ginza contacts and with whom? What is the role of men? It seemed like a good opportunity to think again about yourself strategies, action methods and organizational structures. Inspired by the range of ideas and alternatives from radical activists tutorials and interviews with other feminists, I dared me to put together a list of 10 practical tips. These conditions or requisites necessary in my opinion if we want the feminist movement grows and thrives.
This text will not go into themes or goals, not on content and on "what" we want to achieve or change, but in action and organizational methods, on strategy, on the "how": opening of the how-build-weeks our movement-and-how-we-achieve our goals. I'm not going to write about what today is wrong in this world or about what we want for tomorrow, but about how we in the wrong world today to be able to evolve the ideal world of tomorrow. In other words, some basic tips to build a feminist movement, ideas and tools to protect us, to allow us to prepare for battle and our ideals into reality.
Below "things" are useful to watch as we create a feminist activist group or to contribute to the building of an autonomous movement. Probably a lot of it sounds ginza contacts logical and natural for some and many tips can be achieved locally already. In the second wave of feminism, several do-it-yourself methods, democratic organizational structures and alternatives developed and applied. Also in anarchist ginza contacts and many other globalist and radical leftist groups do they discussed. Much of the work and the knowledge from the second wave has unfortunately disappeared (such as bookstores and magazines that are then incorporated) or password (such as the analyzes ginza contacts of sexism and experiences with activism). It is therefore hardly recognized. ginza contacts Action Strategies from anarchist angle are also taken seriously enough. Still, I think this list is useful for the feminist movement today - and by extension other social movements - to examine what we have, what we are doing and what we need. Too little attention indeed still given to (some of) these 10 tips if they are not always applied. However, the tips in this text only the beginning. There is much more needed to reach a feminist utopia and discussions and thinking about feminist strategies should be further put. Time to us - again - to organize and collaborate, as autonomous feminist movement. On to the revolution!
