Declaración del Día Internacional de la Mujer Trabajadora 2026
Summary
A statement by Friends of the Earth International for International Working Women's Day 2026, arguing that gender justice is inseparable from climate justice and the dismantling of structural systems of oppression such as patriarchy, colonialism, and corporate power.
Key insights
- The document asserts that gender injustice is rooted in interconnected structural forces, including patriarchy, militarism, racism, colonial legacy, corporate power, and imperialism, which dictate the control of resources and the distribution of crisis burdens.
- Environmental destruction disproportionately impacts women, increasing their burdens regarding food and water procurement and exacerbating the impacts of poverty and displacement.
- The organization identifies a rise in new forms of imperialism and colonialism, alongside the erosion of rights caused by far-right forces, the reduction of civic space, and regressive agendas targeting women's bodies and feminist organization.
- Friends of the Earth International calls on governments and the international community to implement specific measures: protecting environmental and human rights defenders, ending policies of militarization and genocide, ensuring access to land and resources, investing in universal public services and care systems, and ensuring accountability for violence against marginalized communities.
- The use of the term 'International Working Women's Day' is intended to highlight the lack of decent work and the disproportionate burden of unpaid, precarious care work borne by women, indigenous women, Afro-descendant women, and gender diversities.
