• Women's Day. Justice ratifies the prohibition of demonstrations for 8-M because "health, physical integrity and life must prevail"

The Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, has attacked this Sunday against the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, whom she accuses of being "one of the greatest representatives" of the "campaign" of the rights for placing in the target and criminalize women and the feminist movement.

"They know that feminism is stronger than ever, that is why it is the enemy to beat," he said, to regret that "campaigns of subsidence, humiliation, ridicule and individual discredit" are carried out by women who dare to raise the voice to say they are feminist, lesbian, racialized or migrant.

Montero has assured that feminism is stronger than ever and that this March 8 its strength will not be able to be measured by how full the streets are, due to the restrictions due to the pandemic, but because of the profound social transformation that it poses.

"Those who try to measure the strength of the movement are going to be wrong because of how crowded the streets and squares are. (...) This 8-M we will not be able to gather our bodies in the streets as we are used to always doing, but Make no mistake, our strength will not be in how many women we manage to go out on the street on the 8th, "Montero asserted at the" Feminist Power "conference organized by United We Can.

The head of Equality has defended that feminism is stronger than ever at a time of pandemic in which women have sustained the country and in which there is a serious risk of a decades-long setback in women's rights , especially the most vulnerable.

Montero

has been moved to recognize the work of the team of the Ministry of Equality because "he has had a part of the fight in which he has to put the body" to achieve that certain rights are institutionalized: "We knew it was going to be difficult, but not knowing it is the same as living it ".

In this sense, the mayor of

Barcelona

, Ada Colau, has denounced that

Montero

is suffering "absolutely immoral and unprecedented personal harassment that crosses all the red lines."

"To do politics is to roll up your sleeves when they come badly. (...) It is worth getting tired, worse it is not worth giving up," stressed

Montero

.

"They know that feminism is stronger than ever, that is why it is the enemy to beat," he said, to regret that "campaigns of subsidence, humiliation, ridicule and individual discredit" are carried out by women who dare to raise the voice to say they are feminist, lesbian, racialized or migrant.

The Equality team, the minister said, has given "the battle for the institutional recognition of rights that are a unanimous cry in the feminist movement: from the law of only yes is yes, to the

LGTBI law

, to the fight against sexual exploitation and reproductive exploitation, to the fight for the guarantee of the rights of trans people ".

In his opinion, feminism calls with a "unanimous cry" for the defense of these rights and the guarantee of lives worth living.

The Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, has stated that she is proud of what United We can contribute to the cause of equality in Spain, working for the rights of "all women, one by one."
