Firgoverre Replacement Lid

The voice of women from Honduras and from El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Canada and Mexico, expressing solidarity with them

Meeting in Mexico City, DF., On November 25, women's organizations, human rights, trade unionists, indigenous people, laborers, housemaids and factory workers in the Mesoamerican region, under the FORUM-WORKSHOP "Exchanges on women and labor rights in times of crisis"

express that:
The crisis of the neoliberal model in our countries has deepened poverty, violence, unemployment, job insecurity, violations human rights and legal helplessness of the people of the Mesoamerican region.

Women in Mesoamerica have been the main beaten and raped by the crisis of the neoliberal model, which is manifested in our expulsion from the labor market, outsourcing of our jobs and the increase in gender violence and femicide in the region.

Poverty impacts more heavily on women, although it is us who assume the responsibility of supporting and caring families, making a vital contribution is not recognized in national accounts and without which it could sustain neoliberal system and human life.

The economic crisis is being exploited by private interests of large transnational and domestic capital to increase the violation of human rights, labor and gender of women and men workers in the region.

This situation reached its extreme in the case of Honduras, where the alliance of the corporate powers, religious, media, politicians and military of this country, using dictatorial practices of the past, perpetrated a COUP CIVIL-MILITARY , breaking the country's weak democratic institutions.

This coup is being accompanied by media campaigns at national, regional and international levels to justify this assault on democracy.

The repression of the population in resistance to the coup is carried out with highly sophisticated war technology, taking the lives of leaders (as) civil society in opposition and attacking the human rights of people through torture, assault, persecution and death.

has violated the right to freedom of expression and public demonstrations, suspending individual rights of a population in peaceful resistance to the coup attempt systematically invisible.

our Honduran brothers, as in any situation of economic, political and military have suffered the blow in a particular way: violence towards them connotes gender violence manifested in their bodies - attacks and strokes in their private parts, touching and rape - when they have been imprisoned by the rebels.

currently the de facto regime is calling an election, repudiated by the majority of the Honduran population and women in particular, since it develops in the context of a coup and a process of militarization it provides no guarantee of democracy, transparency and security to the lives of people.

Therefore: We stand in solidarity
with the struggles of Mesoamerican women who are facing the crisis of neoliberal capitalism and in particular we express our solidarity with Honduran women RESISTANCE.

and demand:
That the international community as a whole rejected the coup regime and the non-recognition of illegitimate elections that are to be imposed on the people of Honduras.

Compliance with international instruments and conventions for the protection of human rights of women such as CEDAW, CAIRO, Belém do Pará and the cessation of violence and rape against women in Honduras.

We called human rights organizations, unions, organizaciones de mujeres, feministas nacionales, regionales e internacionales a conformar un Frente Común Solidario para la defensa de los derechos y garantías a la vida y la dignidad de las mujeres y hombres que integran la gran nación hondureña. Defender la democracia del pueblo hondureño es defender los derechos a la vida y la dignidad de los pueblos Mesoamericanos.

A day of elections in Honduras


FOR OUR SISTERS IN SOLIDARITY AND HOPE




women, all in strength, we are outraged

want silence our voices, they want to stop the force and love our walk

want trample the dignity of our claim

want to make our commitment to give up life

why we stand

So join hands

why we support our brothers and our sisters

For that we are strong.



Women in the northern area, we express our repudiation of the murder, rape and repression of women and men. We reject acts of death, we condemn the coup regime, as well as any mechanism used to maintain power.



express our outrage at the persecution of women in resistance, the arrest of Merary Lavaire the CEM-H and Eguigure Merlin Women's Movement for Peace Visitacion Padilla, the capital of the republic, it is clear that the coup regime does not tolerate those who refuse dictatorship.



The arguments used for the detention of our comrades alert about a regime that pursued the voices of protest from our people. Wearing a shirt or a can of paint (spray), have become more serious crime than corruption, a practice that kills the poorest



Being a woman in resistance, is an offense to the coup regime, It disrupts the schemes in which they have tried to pigeonhole with patriarchal patterns. The voices of women clash, make noise, because the world this is a strong voice.



To our colleagues, we extend a hug filled with energy that moves us not give in, to stay in control, resisting. We know your courage, and we know they are not alone, there is a movement accompanying them, each day we are more that we are committed to life. A life in which there is no room for violence, terror ... a coup regime.

For Whom the Bell Tolls National strike

Yesterday, while driving in the city of Chihuahua, the exodus of women's life *, a 9-year-old asked his aunt if the military would come to kill us ... The words of the girl, unfortunately, fit into a reality that is more like a war zone than anything else ... Militarization and the consequences thereof, in the so-called war against organized crime by the federal government has not merely increased violence in the country and intensify the conditions of violence against women in Chihuahua state, especially in Juárez .

However, the women's movement that have for years been fighting to stop the femicide, and echoed by the Bell "and one more death", has toured for several weeks, several points of Mexico so that you do not miss memory in our country, hundreds of women have been murdered by criminals and under the protection and shelter of the state and municipal governments and of course, the federal more than any other.

The exodus of the lives of women left the Federal District and today, after several days of intense travel, arrived in Ciudad Juárez, one of our deepest wounds, a wound living, throbbing that reminds us that today more than ever required a stop to the murders of women is a vital necessity, as we have for several years the families of the murdered women and women's organizations in Juarez and Chihuahua, which through the documentation and the emphasis has been made to the case in the international spotlight.

So, we're celebrating a great triumph: the American court ruling in favor of three women killed whose bodies were found in the cotton field. This ruling declared the state of Mexico as the culprit ...

there yet, they say feminist organizations, but also celebrate and celebrate together this ruling.

The exodus of women's lives, we must add a very important meeting, which was the feminist meeting in Chihuahua state, where women made an account of struggles, triumphs and unfinished work. The women of this state, remain a guideline for the work of many organizations across the country, as they are articulating to demand justice for victims of femicide.
In this three-day meeting was attended by activists, relatives of the murdered women, researchers, lawyers, students, etc., as Marcela Lagarde, defined synergy feminist., more than ever this synergy is necessary to achieve a society in which human rights are recognized and men and women we can build human relationships and human equality.
This meeting was also recounts the struggles of women in the state and paid tribute to Irma Campos Madrigal (died November 22), founder of the feminist group on March 8 and Women in Black, who among other activities have for the second time the exodus of women for life and the cross with nails, crosses in Juarez in Chihuahua and remind us that in this country and in the world, there should be no one more death .. and therefore the bell that came Juárez today, bends, rings and all these women so that no one killed or more.

Montreal, November 10, 2009


President Felipe de Jesus Calderon Hinojosa,


Meeting in Montreal on Friday, November 6, 2009, in a follow-up meeting of the agreements with trade unions and social organizations United States and Mexico during the Third Meeting of North American organizations in the energy sector held in the CD of Mexico from 16 to 18 March 2009, social networks and multi-sector unions Energy of Canada and Quebec sign the following statement against the recent events in Mexico:

1. -> Condemn the actions of his government on days 10 and 11 last October when he ordered the seizure by force and federal police intervention, the facilities of the Luz y Fuerza del Centro, later issued a decree in announcing the extinction of the public company protected by the Constitution and without the required approval of Congress.

2. -> We condemn the government's decree entailing the disappearance of the collective bargaining agreement and the Mexican Union Own Electricians (SME) as well as dismissal without due process or prior decision of a judicial authority, more than 44 000 workers of the company, leaving unemployment, and Vulnerable to more than 15 thousand retirees and retirees.

3. -> Denounce the unilateral action of his government to settle Luz y Fuerza del Centro merger creates the conditions for facilities and assets of the entity with the Federal Electricity Commission in order to deliver the entire package to the private sector.

4. -> We believe this sequence of events as a way to hit and try to eliminate one of the most important benchmarks of trade unionism Mexican democracy, and as an attack on public enterprise and the rights of workers.

5. -> Denounce the situation that prompted the government violate the international rights in full force in Mexico, including the right to work, stable employment, the prohibition of arbitrary dismissal without cause, to social security, "the human right a project of life ", integrity and dignity of the workers recognized by the Inter-American Human Rights Court, and violated the rights enshrined in the ILO's employment, freedom of association and collective bargaining.

In the case of conflict with the SME and its affiliates, but also for some time that comes from the miners' union and others of which we are aware, we believe that clearly has been broken the rule of law, exacerbating the social unrest caused by the current economic crisis.

call to restore the rule of law and demand that their government:

-> it without delay repeal the decree of "extinction" and ordered the reopening of the public company Luz y Fuerza del Centro, and the immediate departure Federal Police and military facilities;

-> To demand the departure of personnel who illegally working in the facilities of Luz y Fuerza del Centro;

-> To ensure the return of members of the EMS workers to their jobs, with respect to their collective agreement, which we believe holders still legally;

-> to prevail full respect to employment and rights labor of the workers of the company;

-> To recognize immediately and unconditionally to the legitimately elected leadership in the Mexican Electricians Union (SME), and respect all forms of autonomy of the union;

-> That a social dialogue table with alternatives attached to the Constitution and international standards for a solution solution to the conflict.

The process of convergence and coordinated fight the union and social movement has been building in the energy sector since August 2007 at the North American argues that access to energy is a fundamental human right of our peoples and that privatization is the way forward. Encourage the three countries of policies consistent with the challenges facing our societies at the environment and climate change, and we affirm that the protection and promotion of freedom of association and the right of association and bargaining is a prerequisite for meeting the challenges current in the energy sector.

is in this spirit that we join and accompany the struggle of the EMS, and support the agreed national strike for 11 November 2009 to counter the disastrous policies of his government.

Sincerely, John Dillon
