The feminist movement in the Basque Country has reached the 8M on two platforms
The emergence of a new abolitionist coordinator and the response of the feminist movement show that there are differences about prostitution or the trans collective.
The feminist movement in the Basque Country will arrive divided on March 8, following the creation of a new platform called M8-Euskal Herria Feminist Movement, driven by the abolitionist sector ,which advocates the abolition of prostitution, pornography and gender and says that sex is what defines men and women, and criticizes what it considers to be "representation" in some feminist spaces.
The new coordinator has convened her own mobilizations for the 8M in Bilbao and Pamplona, parallel to those planned by the traditional feminist movement, a new space that was presented in Bilbao on 19 February and which, according to its promoters, was born in collaboration with abolitionist sectors at the state level with the aim of recovering the "historical subject of feminism".
The response of the Euskal Herria Feminist Movement has been immediate and forceful. In a statement supported by more than a hundred agents, the group denounces that this initiative breaks the consensus built for decades and marks distances from the new space: "Not in our name."
In the same text, the feminist movement stresses that it does not share "putophobic" attitudes and defends the rights of sex workers, which it considers to be part of the movement itself. It also reiterates that it does not exclude any group, and accepts different forms of violence and oppression, including those affecting trans people.
The existing division around prostitution and gender identities has now become apparent in the call for separate mobilizations, with growing internal tension.
