International women's day: a voice from Managua, Nicaragua

Mayela Hurtado, 32, is finance manager for Christian Aid in central America • Read more voices in our International Women's Day interactive As a young woman – as in most parts of Latin America – it's hard to walk alone down the street without being harassed about the way you dress, the way you walk or how "tasty" you might look that Day. The Nicaraguan law banning violence against women was approved last year, but even though it is a big step, we are still far from overcoming all the challenges that come with its approval. To take a practical example, after many years of not doing so, I decided to start walking to work again, to enjoy the fresh sunny mornings in my city. On my way to the office there is a corner where young men gather to sell the daily newspaper to passing vehicles, and as I had to pass them, I received very descriptive comments about my body. Even though it was not a new experience, I noticed that on the days [when] a police officer was controlling the traffic, they would stay quiet. So, one Day I decided to approach the officer and tell him about it. After scanning me from head to toe, the first thing he asked was: "Where's your husband? You should tell him to come here and scare them so they don't bother you again." And I said: "What are you trying to tell me? That I need to have a man by my side in order to walk freely down the street? I thought things would get better after the law was approved …" He immedia ...

In 2009, I wrote a statement for Women's International League for Peace & Freedom to commemorate International Women's Day. Their website no longer links to past statements, so I'm placing it here to share. Sadly, none of the goals have been achieved. Women's International League for Peace & Freedom International Women's Day Statement 8 March 2009 March 8, International Women's Day, is a Day to acknowledge the need for Women's equal participation in economic and political decision-making, to celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of women, and to denounce gender discrimination and gender violence. The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) approaches this Day with an analysis of the root causes of war and injustice: the pursuit of profit, rather than the fulfillment of human need. According to Naomi Klein, the problems perpetuated by disaster capitalism include the limitation of political participation to those with "specialized" knowledge, the perpetuation of fear through the buildup of military arsenals, the threat of violence and use of force, and finally the corporate framing of news. WILPF rejects the notion that gender equality has been achieved. While men remain systematically overrepresented in all levels of decision making, women remain economically disadvantaged; Women's work is under-valued and under-paid. From child rearing to the suites of executive offices, women continue to be paid less than thei ...

When Luise Zietz and Clara Zetkin proposed the observance of an International Women’s Day back in 1910, I wonder if they imagined that over a century later their sisters would still be campaigning against gender-based violence and in defence of reproductive rights . In some ways it’s depressing that so much remains to be done, but the history of struggle over the years is never less than inspiring. ...
