Given the current situation of women, which we has denied the "morning-after pill," we are discriminated against in all spheres of life, work, get paid 30% less than men, are discriminated against and abused in schools, suffer violence and femicide to go unpunished, it forces us to assume a morality that condemns us from the Church is Satanic us for being lesbians, and abortion by trying to live and decide how we want, but others decide for our bodies and destinies.

For this and much more, because with the global economic crisis is increasingly clear to those who govern the state of democracy for the rich around the world

do with the war between Israel and leaving Lebanon as the only real victims and workers and people poor, especially women, thousands of children and youth with no future. And working women are the most suffer from the burden unleash entrepreneurs on the shoulders of the working class with economic crises and natural consequences, such as unemployment, starvation wages, precarious employment and poverty in populations. compared to what we say that the crisis pay their employers.

why we present this program to start fighting for our rights and interests, we must begin to defend our own strength as

without relying on the bosses' parties, the Church, the State or any institution democracy for rich and therefore not in the other, as Bachelet defends employers and not us working women and those who suffer poverty. So raise a women's group anticapitalist, revolutionary class, independent of the state of democracy of the rich, the bosses' parties and the church. Bread and Roses - Teresa Flores arises a struggle for our rights and our freedom, and the socialist revolution led by women and men of the working class in alliance with all oppressed peoples to end oppression and exploitation and

lay the foundation for our effective emancipation.

Chilean workers mobilized in 70 '

What strategy we propose for our liberation?

The oppression of patriarchy, the social relations thousand enariamente based on oppression of women by men, appears at the beginning of class society, which is based on economic exploitation social and a majority group by another minority. This dominant minority group, extracts the first work product and retains private ownership of production means managing the whole society. Under the capitalist economic and social system, society is divided into the middle class exploiter and the exploited working class.

The oppression of women, which has existed in all stages of class society, in various forms of subjugation of our sex, capitalism takes on new forms, which is legitimized and reproduced for the benefit of the capitalists. The double workday of women workers receive low wages in companies and then get to perform domestic work lengthening their journey home, is an example of this, while other women are entrepreneurs and exploit other women workers to get rid domestic work. Thus, women capitalist interests are contrary to those of women workers.

To end miserable wages paid women workers, the consequences of illegal abortions that affect us with poor women, prostitution, discrimination and violence, double shifts and domestic work and the daily misery that women live popular sectors, it is necessary to start fighting for our rights on the way to end our oppression as women and workers exploitation as root, which legitimizes and reproduces capitalism.

Although all women to be oppressed, we are the workers and poor women who live in the worst conditions under capitalism. Thus, our perspective liberation and anti-capitalist struggle must be , class and revolutionary. Women can not free ourselves to ending capitalism reproduces the oppression and exploitation keeps workers. Then it is necessary to fight independently of government, church, parties and the capitalist state employers who dresses as a democracy, guaranteeing our situation. Only a socialist revolution led by workers in alliance with the oppressed peoples, the Mapuche, the student movement and poor people, to socialize the means of production and finish with capitalism, we can ensure the foundations of a socialist society , to start our liberation as women. However, we start from today to fight for our freedom, while we strive to advance our interests and demands to pave the way capitalist society face and edges of their oppression of women.

Capitalism and its string of crises, wars and social disasters sustained by the capitalists, strikes hardest hits on workers and especially on working women, going to show all its misery and irrationality of a system There is nothing eternal, perfect and natural and allowing more openly questioning of our situation.

is why from class against class, where we have always dedicated forces to address the problem of oppression of women, now we make way for the formation of a group of women formed by active members of our organization with women workers and independent learners is raised to fight for the rights and liberation of women workers, with grassroots women, youth and students to address our situation.

Class against Class invites you to become a part of "Bread and Roses - Teresa Flores" .*

Our political program is based on the reality of the main problems facing working women and inequality lies with the popular sector women, youth and children.

Workers public sector strike, November, 2008

why our current battle plan begins with:

a) free contraceptives, free and quality education for all women who need them. Sex education in public schools and public health facilities for all and all without the moral of the macho, conservative church. The right to legal abortion, free, secure and free to any woman who requests it. All this guaranteed by the state.

occur in our country about 160,000 to 200,000 illegal abortions a year, most of which are unhealthy and in poor conditions, they are left with serious consequences for women workers and the popular sectors, while is rich in private clinics make it safely. The law against abortion is one of the most restrictive in the world, it does not allow any type of abortion, even when pregnancy results from rape. The right to the morning-after pill then there is not so free as after the decision of the Constitutional Court, led by the right, the Church and the final consent of the Coalition. The illegality of abortion does not end with abortion, fight for this right to decide ourselves through our bodies.

b) The rights of women workers to get equal pay for equal work, work no more unstable and more outsourcing. For a salary equal to the family budget of 350,000 pesos. Rights for working mothers: by right of postnatal , nurseries and gardens free children, as guaranteed by the employers and the state. Right to organize them and union office.

Working women are 40% of the labor force in Chile. We charge pay between 30% and 40% less than men for equal work. In addition we are engaged in the most precarious jobs, outsourced , receiving low wages, workers rights null and void labor stability. When we get pregnant, we are often dismissed, and when working in abhorrent conditions we lose our pregnancies spontaneously. We have no right to Postnatal and no where to leave their children while working in companies, as well the costs of the nursery we can not afford. The right to unionize and right to strike for the working class in this country is restricted by the impunity of employers, who have a capitalist state to its service that they are required by law. But for working women is even more difficult by the poor conditions and machismo that forces us to care for children, to deal with other tasks private family socially restricting ourselves to participate and defend our rights. Let us fight for our rights as workers.

c) Stop violence against women. Let's face abuse, discrimination and abuse. For the right to education and equal job opportunities for women. No more expulsions in schools because of pregnancy. Stop discrimination by gender, sex and ethnicity. Transitional homes for women victims of violence and their children, financially guaranteed by the State and under the control of the victims of violence, women's organizations and women, with cabinets of professionals and specialists, without judicial or police presence. In our workplaces and unions, creating women's committees, independent of the employer, dealing with cases of sexual harassment or employment discrimination against female workers. Transitional subsidies guaranteed by the state to idle in line to the basket and paid leave for female victims of violence to health care guaranteed by the employer. Typing the murder of women as Femicide and higher penalties for FEMICA , abusers and rapists, all potential FEMICA too. No employer confidence in justice, that victims of abuse with the unions, feminists, left, and sexual minorities, to determine and enforce penalties.

Women have to fight all forms of violence against us: decisions made by us, inequality, discrimination, social subjugation to men, abuse, misuse, femicide, that law and reproduce culture and capitalism through government guarantees, the capitalist state, its institutions and the Church.

d) The rights of lesbians, and bisexuals from discrimination sex, gender and sexual orientation. No more expulsions from school and work discrimination.

Women are taught from childhood in the family and in schools, often in addition to conservative morality of the church, to follow certain patterns of sexual behavior and different for men and women by gender roles that society needs to ensure the inequalities that serve capitalism. Any changes in sexual behavior is due to discrimination, violence and marginalization that is expressed above expulsions at work and school, not being able to live in same-sex couples. So we propose Unity in action by the movement's own claims of sexual minorities, and the defense of our rights as lesbians, bisexuals, sexuality live freely.

e) For the liberation of women for domestic work and the tasks relegated by gender. The socialization of domestic tasks: standing struggle to canteens and laundries, we demand nurseries and kindergartens for all mothers, paid by the State and employers. For the right to work stable of all women face unemployment and poverty. For the distribution of working hours so that no one is left without work.

working women, popular sectors, girls and young women are the ones who perform domestic work in society. After work or as a primary task in our lives, we relegate this work is social and we do individually. Is a free labor, which allows them to save employers should pay the salary of the workers if we did not free and that the capitalist state is saved by the care that women carry the sick and old. This unpaid work must be socialized to not continue to fall on women workers and the poor and for women, would include social work in equal conditions. These transformations we can start rehearsing now, but we generalize as a primary task in the time that the socialist revolution led by workers in alliance with the oppressed peoples, the Mapuche, the student movement and poor people, feel the basis of the socialization of the means of production and thus end up with private property. Ready to lift this struggle perspective to lay the foundations of our freedom.

* "Pan and Roses "is the name that called the strike of the workers at Lawrence ( Massachusetts, USA) in 1912, culminating in the implementation of reduced working hours, higher wages and recognition union after a bitter struggle in which, after organizing day care for their children with the support of militant union IWW (Industrial Workers of the World ), children are attacked by many of them dying police.

face dismissal and the employer's attack ... Why

Women workers must fight shoulder to shoulder to defend ourselves with our fellow!

What the crisis the pay for bosses, not workers or workers!

The employer is downloading "the effects of the crisis on the shoulders of the working class by imposing layoffs and pay cuts, as employers l Cencosud to the pa

ised the work in the building Costanera Center, or the layoffs that have been affecting workers in the area of \u200b\u200bconstruction, forestry, and mining services with tens of thousands of workers redundant. After the consultation the government a few months ago claimed that the economy in Chile was reinforced to withstand the global crisis, are now talking about to receive its impact is inevitable and is already beginning to show. At first they reflected more covertly with the loss

gives funds of the AFP, are now directly dismissals of workers in entire areas in some sectors of the economy.

In this situation, the government of the consultation and the right has done more than promise a meager allowance of 40,000 pesos per year for affected families, while companies from SMEs to large, they spends large sums of money, credits, receipts for your winnings and to ease our work. Attack of the bosses download now on our pockets and directly about our jobs with impunity to keep a penny of the windfall gains that have been taking in recent years and force us to accept layoffs and cutbacks for the good of the company. Against this we must respond and that we must prepare and defend ourselves.

Women workers, who earn less than men and usually suffer the worst conditions, insurance will be at risk in some sectors, we want to separate our peers or by drawing more precarious our situation to say goodbye. In other circumstances as the government announced the conclusion and right next to the body patterns, the CPC, we integrated as cheap labor to save sums of money with our insecurity, having to accept work for less than minimum wage only as women, as they began to go deeper with young subcontracting. Others are mothers, wives and sisters of workers who live daily with them the situation of insecurity, and now threatens employers with jobs, with which we feed. Many times put us against or left out of strikes, but the women of the working class can not be outside when it also touched our pockets and interests. We have to be, putting part from and for defending the dismissed workers with jobs and fight side by side for not allowing the crisis to pay us.

why women have to be working alongside the other family we are workers, they fight side by side against layoffs and defending positions work, starting up women's committees in every workplace directly affected to unite, as in the construction area. We need a national plan of struggle against layoffs to deal with this situation that the crisis also raised the pay for bosses. So you have to reduce working hours so that no one is out of work if it is necessary to reduce the production of a company. Before mine closure or companies, to maintain the salary and contract. Defender work and be stable against any wage gap and insecurity, fighting for a salary of 360,000 pesos based on the family budget. That companies in bankruptcy to take charge of their state funding, but conducted under control of such workers. Create public works schemes that will benefit the interests of workers and poor people. It is necessary that the CUT, directed by leaders of the PS and the PC that have not responded in time to the dismissals, made effective and the national strike call and prepare to take forward starting call national strike committee of trade unions and from left to prepare the general strike.

From Bread and Roses - Teresa Flores, believe that women have to defend our rights and interests involved starting with our fellow workers in the struggles that we are taking to further ask our own demands within of the working class to what we live every day to end the inequalities imposed on us and fight from and for our rights and organization, to end exploitation and oppression that we are subjected to capitalism through the patterns , democracy for the rich, etc. So we invite you to become a part of Bread and Roses - Teresa Flores, a group of women workers and students that discusses these proposals.

Bread and Roses?

By Celeste Murillo (Bread and Roses - Argentina)

An ink stain spreads in because it penetrates deeply fabric fibers. Decisive action to change their stars, because it penetrates, as the ink to the fabric, deep fiber of their lives. That is the story of women in Lawrence (Massachusetts, USA), who staged a strike that would lead to implementation of reduced working hours, higher wages and union recognition. This month marks 92 years of that struggle, known as the strike for "bread and roses."

want bread ...

The decade that opened the twentieth century in the U.S. was plagued by strikes hard, largely staged by textile workers, the booming industry of the moment. The textile industry employed large numbers of immigrant labor-drawn warnings from the impoverished liars Europe, women and children. More than half were women, many of them under 18.

The new year of 1912, Facilities away from bourgeois, the Lawrence workers went on strike. The vast majority were not organized into unions, as the AFL (1) affiliated only skilled workers, ie white males. The organization that spearheaded the strike was the IWW (2), instead, saw the importance of organizing the most exploited among workers: women, blacks and immigrants.

On January 10 the first meeting takes place in the IWW, where a thousand workers, who have just received your check with a lower wage, they decide to call the strike. The first measure taken in addition to the strike fund, is the method of mass picketing around the factories resolved to form an infinite line around the premises, which remained 24 hours and moved constantly, making it impossible to rams and the police enter the factory.

... but roses

The strike spreads, the workers are adamant and employers as well. The strike committee nurseries and community kitchens installed for the children of workers. The measures aim to facilitate the participation of women workers. In addition, meetings are held only women, and it is also necessary to combat sexism that reigned among activists.

The IWW has a special policy to children who face the attacks of teachers, neighbors and friends for the activity of their mothers, children inaugurate union meetings where they discuss why their parents are strike. Finally he decided to send them to other cities, where the host families in solidarity with the struggle. In the first train out 120 kids who will return home when the strike ends. In the time it was ready to leave the second train, police repression unleashed against women and children who accompany them. This episode brings the conflict the pages of national newspapers and Congress.

The widespread, the firm resolve of the workers and the fear of the bourgeoisie to extend the strike, does give employers to accept the reduced working hours and increased wages, fearing that to spread the cry of "we want bread, but roses." These workers turn of the century, took the sky for assault and achieved the first victories of the proletariat in the U.S., and shows the decisive role of women in major workers' struggles.

BREAD AND ROSES

James Oppenheim, 1911

As we go marching, marching through the beautiful day / one million darkened kitchens and thousands of gray mills / are touched by a radiant sun that rises suddenly / and that the people hear us singing: Bread and roses! Bread and roses!

As we go marching, marching, men also fight / because they have mothers, and protect maternally again / Our lives will not be exploited from birth to death, / The hungry hearts, like the bodies / give us bread but give us roses!

As we go marching, marching, lots of women who die / are crying through our singing their ancient claim of bread / their weary spirits did not know the small art and love and beauty / Yes is bread we fight, but fight for roses!

As we go marching, marching, we bring with us for better days. / The uprising of the women means the rising of humanity. / No more of the burden of work and lazy: ten working for a rest / We want to share life's glories: Bread and roses, bread and roses!

Our lives will not be exploited from birth to death, / hungry hearts, like the body / bread and roses, bread and roses!

This poem was written in December 1911, by James Oppenheim, a poet and member of the union militant IWW (Industrial Workers of the World). According to research by Jim Zwick, both in U.S. history as in the popular consciousness the slogan "Bread and Roses" is associated with the famous strike of textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts 1912. So much so that the strike is called the strike for "bread and roses." There is no direct documentation of the slogan used by the workers, but said James Oppenheim's poem was inspired by a sign that the demonstrators had been on strike that read "We want bread but we want roses too."

Looking

World Day Against Homophobia and our exhibition "Discriminate dehumanizes" last May 15 at the Museum of Estanquillo as LGBT Group 44 of Amnesty International Mexico, we conducted a panel on "Women lesbian, bisexual and transgender people: Turning Against Homophobia, for their rights" , involving activists Angie Castillo Rueda, Myriam Domínguez Brito, Paulina Peredo and Magalli Piña Martínez Bedolla.

was a space for exchanging experiences and ideas about combating lesbophobia, biphobia and transphobia attended by 60 people.

Women
various

The first step was Angie Rueda, a transgender woman who is responsible for the Programme of the Presidency of CONAPRED on non-discrimination by gender, sexual orientation and gender identity.

She said: "In Mexico and in the world, habemos many types of women: women whose health reasons they removed the womb or breast, which are sterile, they decide not to have children who are lesbian, who are transgendered and transsexual people, and we're not going to the norms of heterosexism, and heteronormativity heterocentralidad who want to impose a dichotomy of what is to be a man and woman, and a monogamous family model, neutral and heterosexist. "



From the uniqueness of their social and institutional activism, she said that in LGBT activism today are four key areas: 1) the defense of human rights, 2) non-discrimination and the right to diversity, 3 ) gender, 4) the fight against all forms of homophobia.

Angie, who is participating in the Front for the initiative of the Gender Identity Law, a BA and MA in Sociology, and has a Ph.D. in Social Sciences at the Universidad Iberoamericana. However, referred the documents to support their studies do not correspond to their gender identity, your name and your current life plan; it is an illegal immigrant.

Lesbian and Bisexual mainly discriminated by their families

In turn, Paulina Martinez Perez, known lesbian activist, founder and coordinator Metal Muses AC Gay Women's Group, said that his organization has existed since 1995 and its main task is to provide workshops for lesbian and bisexual women, who were used to find themselves and their like, and not identify with life histories similar to yours, and it helps them lower their enormous anxiety and tension, and break the silence and freedom from many repressive chains.

Paulina, who is also co-founder of Group 44 LGBT said that, among other projects, during the last two have been working on an investigation into sexual orientation discrimination focused on lesbians and bisexuals, to record and make visible the ways in which they are discriminated against for being female and being lesbians.



Regarding the results of the investigation of his organization, Paulina, who has a degree in Graphic Design at the UNAM, the IMESEX sexologist and psychotherapist by the Gestalt Psychotherapy Institute, said: "The majority said that because women do feel they are discriminated against, but also said it is common and the everyday, which leads me to see that we are very used to being discriminated against. Intersect other discrimination, may be by skin color, physical appearance, age, origin of women, or even obesity. And all these are being added to sexual orientation. "

For the analysis of the results, it became a division of the stages of life: childhood, adolescence, living moment, and then places: school, family, street and work. According to the majority of women who participated in the interviews, the strongest discrimination occurs in the home, the family is the place where there are more examples discrimination. We are the streets and other spaces.



The women interviewed said that the speech that "it is wrong to be homosexual" and abuse occurs within families and at school. On the street, trigger violent reactions, especially if they go hand in hand with your partner and express affection (kissing, hugging given) or if they show male. Paulina

told: "Even in the Zona Rosa which is apparently an area where it is assumed that many wander in peace, as either, because there also people react with insults immediately if they kiss or hug in many cases. Addition many of them do not feel like to report because, for example, had the story of some girls who were in a park chatting: "I did not give him kiss or anything," then a guy came and started to masturbate in front of us, we went to the police, the police told us "why are you here?" better and get out. They should not be here at this time "."

still lacking a culture of reporting on cases of discrimination and violence. This is a problem that is compounded by distrust and indifference that no effort to show themselves responsible to respect and enforce the law. "Most are in the belief that does not help, that is very tedious, or in the case of these girls that if they did, lest he reached over. There were many cases of dismissal for being lesbians, where some say "So I have no way to verify it was for being lesbian or bisexual to be", said Pauline.

In fact, said that bisexual women face discrimination on the part of both LGBT and heterosexual sectors therefore bisexuality remains well hidden and there is little knowledge about it, hence it comes as a side to investigate. He noted that bisexual women are afraid to open their bisexual orientation because they are exposed to propose them form groups or hold meetings with a guy and a girl, do not want to be sexually harassed. "



Stigma and discrimination against women bisexual visibility

"When we talk about these problems is very important to take a gender perspective and to clarify the first entry that gender and feminism come together and attached home, "he said at the beginning of his speech Myriam Domínguez Brito, a bisexual activist, co-founder and active member of the group Bi, which participates as part of coordination.

"And I want to highlight, he said," because usually Now, with the right in power, but international pressure to take into account the gender perspective, suddenly wants to talk with a gender perspective more vaccines, more light, more ligerita. As if talking about women outside perspective and nothing more. "

Myriam, BA in Sociology from the UAM-Azcapotzalco and Master in Political Philosophy from the same university, also referred to "the dictatorship of gender stereotypes." "If there is a group that clearly shows how serious are the violations of the dictatorship of gender, gender stereotypes are just transgender people. For what is what we see every day, is the appearance of gender. So when someone sees on the street to someone who is not for what he believes should be or how it is socially constructed, the shock is brutal until the violence ends. "
also described the forms that constitute the stigma of bisexuality. He said that is composed of the following: "all women are promiscuous bisexual," "all women are unfaithful bisexual," "do not have lasting relationships," "got HIV because we sleep with men," "are undefined, "We are in transition", "no know what we want "," certainly we want everything, "we are confused, that poor little us."

But in addition to the above, the most serious is the invisibility of bisexuality: "We are totally invisible." This leads to the formation of a stigma. "People assume we as bisexual, we say our guidance, we are stigmatized, and from there, then there are all conditions to generate any form of discrimination, which can be rejection, contempt, exclusion, violence in various areas and different places, "said Myriam, who attended the Diploma at UNAM Law to Non-Discrimination (IIJ-Conapred) and III Diploma in Sexual Diversity Studies University Program of Gender Studies.



In fact, she said that one of the deepest discrimination of women is bisexual lesbians coming from because he still sees bisexuality as an orientation law and socially unaccepted, is not recognized, is marginal and have serious consequences on saying it. Bisexual women are in search of an integration, which is what all human beings seek: love, love, friendship, companionship, a group of integration, but in these same areas are otherwise. "It is here where women have sought their peers, understanding, support ... How could someone who has had this marginalization, which has suffered the stigma, in turn do the same?" Reflected Domínguez Brito.

"All these elements violate our rights, our condition, our human dignity as women and bisexual women," said Myriam, and then ask: "Only the state and its institutions violate human rights? I do not believe. It has been shown and have been showing all the research and activism that has been made in recent years, no, also in private, privacy, human rights are violated, the feminists say they began several decades ago: "the private, the personal is political". "

International Solidarity with LGBT

world "It is terrible to see that we live in a world in which, to a greater or lesser degree in almost every country in the world are violated human rights of persons belonging to the community LGBT "said Piña Magalli Bedolla, co-founder member of Group 44 of Amnesty International LGBT Mexico. She is also co-founder of Metal Muses Women Gay Groups AC



This fact is shown through the reporting done on this topic Amnesty International. "From there to be an activist of Amnesty puts me face this reality is not only local but international," said Magalli, who is a surgeon and Homeopath by the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), and psychotherapist for the Humanist Institute for Gestalt Psychotherapy .

And from the testimony of activist said: "The work that the activists who belong to this human rights organization, we can represent an oasis in the desert, and returns me the confidence that if enough people we can raise our voices make this world a better and safer world for all and all who live in it. "

also able to share some specific cases, through the testimonies of lesbian and transgender (Senegal, Romania and Argentina), related to situations of homophobia, discrimination and intolerance against different people. Thanks to the guiding principle of Amnesty International, which is the International Solidarity behind the cases of those many people who feel very committed, working for them.

Magalli Piña, who also attended the Diploma in Sexual Diversity Studies at the University Program of Gender Studies at UNAM, he recalled: "Amnesty International believes that acts of violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual and transgender people in the community and at home are torture to which the State must answer when nature and severity compared with the concept of torture as defined by international standards and the State has not fulfilled its obligation to provide effective protection, then you must demand it, because it is his duty. "

Over the last decade, Amnesty has documented alarming levels of abuse against transgender people, including torture and ill-treatment. The vast amount of information received from these attacks is due largely to the courageous work of local activists have to defend the rights of transsexuals, despite threats and marginalization that involves exposing these abuses.

"The prevalence of sexism and homophobia in society creates a climate in which lesbians are at serious risk of abuse in the community and at home. Young women who reveal their sexual identity are sometimes forced by their families to marry or have sex with men, force women-especially young women-a marriage or other relationships that involve sex acts repeatedly and without consent, and This is not only discriminatory but can be equated to torture and sexual slavery, and that made by the families. "



Finally, Magalli recalled that Amnesty International makes recommendations to governments, such as immediately release all those imprisoned for their sexual orientation only, revise existing laws to make sure there are no laws that discriminate .

In this regard, he highlighted one of the last actions of Amnesty International: "And here we also share a recent success, which actively 44participó Group, and was that in Nicaragua there was an article condemning sodomy, and driving even as sodomy. And the group worked hard with other groups in the region, to ask the government to repeal this law, this article.

EUROPE: LESBIAN AND GAY PRIDE MARCH TO END WITH PREJUDICE

Amnesty International calls on European governments to guarantee the right of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to celebrate their identity in various demonstrations and other public events held every year between April and November for that purpose.

"Equality before the law without discrimination, this is the message that defenders of gay rights lead to the street" said Nicola Duckworth, director of the Regional Programme for Europe and Central Asia at Amnesty International. However, most of the time holding them back safely. "

In several countries, mainly from Eastern Europe, participants in pride events too often face threats and official hostility even before begin to celebrate. They make fun of them, spat at, punched and beat them they throw bottles, eggs and excrement, sometimes right in front of the police.

11 May 60 people who sought to travel to the Moldovan capital to attend the Gay Pride march, although once again (the sixth since) had been banned, were surrounded by a group of protesters nearly three times as many, which rose to forcing the bus doors and took away the banners and flags while police had watched it all from a half-dozen patrol cars parked nearby.

Even the song contest Eurovision to be held in Belgrade from 20 to 24 May, is guaranteed the absence of actions against gays. In Serbia, where security problems have prevented the Homo and Hetero Alliance to organize an event Gay Pride celebration, a militant group threatened to attack any person gay or lesbian appearance at the event.

In several Eastern European countries, some acts are totally forbidden, which constitutes a violation of international law. The authorities do not fulfill their obligations, citing security concerns or violation of what they consider spiritual and moral values.



Amnesty International is campaigning for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to be free from physical assault, verbal abuse or threats, to assemble and freely organize events and receive the proper protection of the officials responsible for enforcing the law.

end of this month and for the second consecutive year, Amnesty International activists from over 20 countries will participate in the Gay Pride march in Riga as a sign of international support and solidarity. The march will demonstrate to what extent there is widespread respect for equality.

"No matter what obstacles stand in your way, people who fight for the rights of lesbians and gays are claiming their human rights," said Nicola Duckworth. Governments must fulfill their obligations. "

THE STATE OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE WORLD / AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL REPORT 2008

60 years of human rights failure - Governments must apologize and act now!

Amnesty International has raised today to the governments of the world the double challenge to apologize for six decades of human rights and failure to renew its commitment to act in concrete improvements.

Introducing the 2008 Report: The state of human rights in the world, Irene Khan, secretary general of Amnesty International, said: "Darfur, Zimbabwe, Gaza, Iraq and Myanmar are hot spots that require immediate action on human rights. "

" Injustice, inequality and impunity are the hallmarks of our world. Governments must act now to close the gap between what is said than done. "

The Amnesty International Report 2008 shows, 60 years after it was adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights United Nations, that at least 81 countries are still tortured or ill-treatment of persons, that in at least 54 are subjected to trials without due process, and that in at least 77 are not allowed speak freely.

Irene Khan said: "The year 2007 was characterized by the impotence of Western governments and the ambivalence or reluctance of emerging powers to tackle some of the world's worst human rights crisis, whether rooted conflicts and growing inequalities so many millions of people are leaving relegated. "

Amnesty International warns that the greatest threat to the future of human rights is the absence of a shared vision and collective leadership.
The secretary general of Amnesty International continues: "The year 2008 offers an unprecedented opportunity for new leaders come to power and countries emerging on the world stage to set new directions and to reject the myopic policies and practices in recent years have made the world a more dangerous and divided place. "

Amnesty International challenged governments to establish a new paradigm for collective leadership based on the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
"And they are the most powerful must lead by example", said Ms Khan.

* China has to keep promises on human rights it made around the Olympic Games and allow freedom of speech and press, and end the practice of "reeducation through labor." * U.S.
must close the detention camp at Guantanamo and other secret detention centers, prosecute the detainees under fair trial standards or release them, and reject without a shadow of doubt the use of torture and ill-treatment.
* Russia must show greater tolerance for political dissent, and zero tolerance for impunity for human rights abuses in Chechnya.
* The EU must investigate the complicity of its member states in "renditions" of terrorist suspects, and apply its own members the same bar on human rights it does for other countries.

Ms Khan warned: "World leaders are in denial, but the price of inaction is very high. As Iraq and Afghanistan show the problems that affect human rights are not isolated tragedies, but are like viruses that can infect and spread rapidly and putting us all at risk. "

" Governments today must show the same degree of vision, courage and commitment that 60 years ago prompted the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. "

"grows in people's demand for justice, freedom and equality."

Some of the most striking images of 2007 were of monks in Myanmar, lawyers in Pakistan and women activists in Iran.

Mrs. Khan concludes: "The people, anxious and angry, will not stay silent, and world leaders ignore public opinion for their own risk."
