00:00In other topics, in Brazil, the numerous marches organized to mark International Women's Day
00:04show that the fight for women's rights continues beyond March 8th.
00:08More details with a correspondent by Amir.
00:12This year in Pernambuco, a state in Brazil with a long feminist history, several marches
00:18commemorating March 8th's International Women's Day were held on different dates as a strategy
00:24to generate more attention for women's rights.
00:26In a working-class city in Greater Recife where women marched on March 10th, the Kabul Women's
00:32Center is working to remind everyone that the fight for women's rights shouldn't be only
00:36remembered on one day of the year.
00:39For 29 years, we have worked to raise consciousness on women's issues on our radio show.
00:47We worked to strengthen and empower women by educating them about our rights and the conquests
00:55achieved by the feminist movement.
00:59This month, we are focusing on the struggle to end violence against women in the city
01:04of Cabo.
01:06The Cabo Women's Center was founded in 1984 when a group of 600 working-class women in
01:13the city of Cabo do Santo Agostino marched on the mayor's office to demand their right
01:18to running water in their neighborhoods.
01:19Since then, it has developed into a powerful local political actor.
01:24In 2006, it made national news when its legal team secured Brazil's first conviction based
01:30on the new Maria da Pena domestic violence law.
01:37We emphasize that March 8th is not a day of celebration.
01:40It's a day to reaffirm our struggles and demand the rights which we haven't achieved yet.
01:44But this is a daily struggle because we refuse to any of our rights to be removed.
01:49We want more rights.
01:50And since these rights haven't yet arrived in an egalitarian manner for all of us, we continue
01:54to fight every day.
01:56During 2025, femicide was committed against an average of four women a day in Brazil.
