Shuruk Duqqa | Palestinian Women’s Movement Al-Karama in Venezuela
Dear comrades, sisters, and allies in struggle,
From Venezuela, I extend a fraternal, supportive, and revolutionary greeting to this important space of resistance.
From the Palestine Solidarity Movement and the Palestinian Women’s Movement Alkarama, we add our voices in a firm rejection of the war machine represented by NATO and the imperialist logic that threatens the sovereignty of our peoples.
Historically, the bodies and territories of women have been the first battlegrounds of wars of occupation and corporate plunder. The billions spent on military budgets that sustain NATO today not only finance destruction but also deprive our societies of the resources necessary for life, healthcare, education, and mutual care.
As anti-imperialist women, we affirm that:
• Peace is not merely the absence of war. True peace is built upon social justice, food sovereignty, and the end of colonialism.
• We reject the militarization of our borders and our communities, which only intensifies patriarchal violence and forced displacement.
• We stand in solidarity with the women of the Global South and all regions of the world who are resisting the impacts of economic sanctions and military aggression.
Our struggle is not only for survival; it is for an alternative model of life.
Against the alliance for war, we uphold the global alliance of peoples for life!
NATO out of our territories!
Long live the women who fight for peace and sovereignty!
