Is this 25 Why should we go?
on several occasions and spaces for dialogue women, I have raised some emergency food for thought, in trying to succeed in building the country we want: Is it the struggle of black women struggle differently from other women?
During the slave system black women were objectified and dehumanized, as if the time resulted in a considerable limitation of fundamental rights for women of African descent had a different experience, as lived a dual role, ie wife - slave generated a larger structure of oppression. On the other hand, as regards what Sueli Carneiro, the classic discourse of oppression of women, that history has been collected, has not managed to measure its impact on female identity of black women.
Meanwhile, we have generated negative stereotypes and prejudices in relation to body and sexuality of women afros, there is an oversizing of the Afro-Peruvian women's sexuality, which affects their interaction with the rest of the population and men of African descent. It is in everyday life, where they find room for bias evident, affecting not only the cultural identity, but rather creating situations of violence and aggression that are required to report.
structural racism in our country is a central problem that needs to be addressed soon, the lack of data and indicators that illustrate the percentage of black population is one of the most concrete expressions of racism, to date no data to tell us how many women afros access to contraception and few have had to undergo unsafe abortions.
Poverty and exclusion remain the most salient indicators of Afro-Peruvian women, while no access to Emergency Oral Contraception is a violation of our reproductive rights and the need for a dignified life. Afro-Peruvian women has decided to build a subject able to propose policy and to articulate, challenge the myth of victimization and demand a less racist and discriminatory.
women together with women of African descent in the country this November 25th march for our right to decide and a life free of violence.
No racism, no violence.
"Racism Mata, Violence also"
