The same forces that feed into the violence against migrant women are also undermining climate action.

Last December, the Trump administration enacted a scheme requiring Central American asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their legal proceedings drag on indefinitely in the United States.

The Migrant Protection Protocols policy – a handily perverse euphemism – is the approximate equivalent of calling the Exxon Valdez oil spill the Marine Life Protection Initiative. As various human rights and advocacy organisations have pointed out, the border programme has exposed tens of thousands of asylum seekers to violence; including rape, kidnapping and assault, in the unsure border regions of Mexico.

In light of the surplus of rapes and other abuses already documented as a result of so-called “protection”, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women – marked annually on November 25 – is an ideal occasion to reflect on the violence facing migrant women in an era of mass migration.

Pervasive violence

As the UN Women website observes : ” Rape is rooted in a complex set of patriarchal beliefs, power, and control that continue to create a social environment in which sexual violence is pervasive and normalised.”

The feminist revolution in Rojava, N.Syria, shows how patriarchy can be defeated, even in a rural and strictly religious society. The revolution is now being destroyed by a Turkish invasion with a strongly patriarchal mentality. The Rojava kurds formed the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) in 2015 and welcomed dozens of Arab, Assyrian, yazidi, Christian..militias into a common front, spreading their revolutionary methods (eg in Manbij Council).Yazidi women victims have formed their own militia within SDF and recently the first arab women’s militia has been formed (July ’17). There are profound feminist implications in the context of previous extreme social repression.

For an idea of the extent of normalisation, just recall Patriarch-in-chief President Donald Trump‘s own previous advice about fondling women without their consent: “Grab ’em by the p****.”

Migrant women, of course, are particularly vulnerable to “grabbing” – and much worse – especially given that crimes against migrants are not generally reported or prosecuted. And for Central American women transiting Mexico to the US border, sexual assault is frequently par for the course.

Turkish forces located 1 kilometer from Ain Issa due to treason of Russian troops

Sunday, November 24, 2019

Ain Issa is outside the “security zone” that Erdogan determined: 32 kilometers south of the border that divides the Turkish Kurdistan from the Syrian. Despite this, and his promise not to operate in the south of that area, yesterday the Turkish forces launched a general offensive against the city.

Aviation, artillery, mortar fire, ground attack from three axes and tanks broke the front and approached the city. His main attack was against the camp of 70,000 prisoners of the Islamic State in order to free them.

They have managed to burn it.

The Yekîneyên Parastinê Gel (Units of Popular Defense, YPG) have today sent reinforcements to the area in order to stop the Turkish mercenaries that have advanced but not enough to enter the city.

The situation is more complicated as the Russian troops, deployed in Ain Issa instead of the Americans, have refused to intervene in the fighting. In fact, the attack occurred only hours after Russia made a joint patrol with the Turkish army in Ain Issa.

In spite of Moscow’s commitment that the patrol was to avoid further fighting, it was certified that Erdogan troops used it to recognize the ground before launching the attack.

Turkish mercenaries, who have had a minimum of fifteen casualties, are just one kilometer away from Ain Issa while fighting continues.

To all revolutionary and freedom-seeking women

On the 25^th of November 1960 the tyranny of the dictator Trujillo, a symbol of the systematized patriarchy, killed the Mirabal sisters through a conspiracy. Their resistance and their murder increased the struggle against the fascist dictatorship. Six months after they were killed, the organized force of the people brought an end to the dictatorship. The Mirabal sisters continue to be one of the biggest sources of hope for the fight of all women in the world against patriarchal violence and its organized forms of fascism and dictatorship.

Hevrîn Xalef

Today, our region has become a war zone of international hegemonic forces. We as women in the region face the most heavy, organized, brutal and intensive sides of the violence in this war zone.

When Luis Fernando Camacho stormed into Bolivia’s abandoned presidential palace in the hours after President Evo Morales’s sudden November 10 resignation, he revealed to the world a side of the country that stood at stark odds with the plurinational spirit its deposed socialist and Indigenous leader had put forward.

With a Bible in one hand and a national flag in the other, Camacho bowed his head in prayer above the presidential seal, fulfilling his vow to purge his country’s Native heritage from government and “return God to the burned palace.”

“Pachamama will never return to the palace,” declared the pastor to…
