translated from Spanish: Observatory of gender and 8M: “all this human mass is supporting changes”

Teresa Valdés, Coordinator of the gender Observatory, referred in conversation with T13 Radio, to the commemoration of the international day of the woman ER worker, and the massive March on Friday.
“It is a social, political and cultural movement and the increased demand is to install that there is something that is not tolerated more. All this human mass is supporting changes. It is saying that ‘this is not tolerable’ tends to look with eyes of traditional politics, a new way of doing politics”said Valdés.
The Coordinator of the Observatory of gender also pointed out that “women feel that their experience, their rage, is reaching a limit that is not tolerable. Suddenly, it’s a sensibility, in all areas, became visible that we don’t want more that is not tolerable. Harassment comes from years ago, but it is intolerable, say “no more”. All the women felt that “no more”, was their own and took to the streets.”
With respect to the reaction of the Government, which opposed the feminist strike that was called for that day and said fear that the movement was co-opted politically, Valdes said that “the Government does not want to understand, this has no political color. This applies to all women. “If the consciences, the proposals, the commitment to fight has political color, but that does not mean that all women who are there have political color”.
On mass demonstrations carried out throughout the country, Valdes said that “there is an infinite joy, then comes much enthusiasm. There is a risk that expectations are. The movement has had enough approaches. Very serious is that this Government is not taking seriously non-sexist education. (…) Violence we will slowly”.
