Charlotte Buimpe Diombelayi | League of Women of the Union of Social Democrats (LIFUDS, Democratic Republic of the Congo)
Dear Comrades,
On behalf of the Comrades of the League of Women of the Union of Social Democrats (LIFUDS), I greet you fraternally. I speak on behalf of all women throughout the world who resist oppression, exploitation, and fascist and imperialist domination.
In Africa, women are convinced that their social emancipation is inseparable from the anti-imperialist struggle. As long as people are subjected to the plundering of their resources, wars, economic sanctions, and foreign domination, women will continue to bear the heaviest burden of poverty, exclusion, and social injustice.
Throughout the world, women are at the forefront of the struggles for peace, national sovereignty, social justice, and human dignity. They are not only victims of systems of domination, but also their primary combatants.
Regarding the World Conference of Anti-Imperialist Women, our responsibility is to strengthen international solidarity among progressive and anti-imperialist women, to promote their participation in decision-making bodies, and to continue their political education so that they become increasingly conscious agents of social change.
LIFUDS, our women’s organization in the Democratic Republic of Congo, affirms loudly and clearly that the liberation of women is inseparable from the liberation of peoples. Therefore, it rejects all forms of exploitation, discrimination, and domination.
LIFUDS envisions a world founded on equality, peace, national sovereignty, and social justice.
Dear Comrades,
Now more than ever, let us join forces. Let us organize ourselves to fight together for a future where women and peoples are truly free.
Long live international women’s solidarity!
Long live the anti-imperialist struggle!
Long live the social emancipation of women!
Thank you.
