Sexist terrorism, that is especially fattening with women, childhood, trans and all those people who do not enter into patriarchal gender schemes, is a heavy scourge in this capitalist society. This systematic denial of social and racial diversity is one more product of the market that needs us impoverished to plunder us from submission and necessity.
No government can guarantee security within a state with patriarchal privileges. We are facing a State femicide where sexist murders, far from being prevented and eradicated, they continue to happen as if it were a custom.

This crisis is actually a big scam.
We carry 10 years in a situation of social emergency, where not only people without work are below the poverty line, but more than 14% of people with jobs are poor as a result of the precariousness of new employment contracts, with partial contracts and survival salaries, that constitutes the new work reality of indignation.
