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.

FROM HONDURAS.
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.
