V-Day Annual Report 2017 - RISE FOR WOMEN WORKERS 1 | Page 55

Helps pave a clearer, more focused
direction and path to learn from
other struggles and to integrate the
work to end VAW with other social
justice movements - against the
bigger struggle towards a prevailing
global anti-people system.
Participates in other protest
movements on racism, defense
of ancestral and native lands,
protection of the environment
and indigenous people’s rights,
militarism and war - deepening
understanding of other contexts of
violence and helps give tools and
inspiration for continuing mobilizing,
strategizing, organizing and rising.
THE OBR
MOVEMENT...
Is becoming more and more a
platform and catalyst to address
the current neo-liberal capitalist
anti-people exclusionary structure
- where global socio-economic
state sanctioned policies cause and
perpetuate poverty, discrimination,
exclusion, oppression, and
exploitation that result in the
escalation and normalization of
violence against women.
