Chicago Forums: Fight for a World without Sexism

[Orlando Sepulveda]

www.chicagosocialists.org  ISO Chicago Forums this week Fight for a World Without Sexism: The socialist case for gender equality! Today's sexism—from widespread violence and degrading ideas to inequality at the workplace and unpaid labor at home—reaches into every corner of our lives. But sexism has not always existed. Women's and other gender/LGBT oppression stems from the nature of our deeply unequal society, and a system that needs to divide and conquer in order to survive. And people of all genders are fighting back! Grassroots mobilizations against sexual assault, victim-blaming and attacks on our reproductive rights are providing a glimpse of the potential to build a new movement for women's rights. From Egypt to Yemen to Madrid and here in Chicago, women are demanding a place at the forefront of struggles for democracy and economic justice. Come join us for a discussion of how to carry these struggles forward and challenge the capitalist system as a whole—to win a world based on genuine equality and true democracy, run from the bottom up.
