> Revolutionary greetings to all participants attending the U.N. Fourth
> World Conference on Women and the NGO Forum '95. It is extremely
> exciting to know that thousands of women from every country are
> meeting to discuss the state of the world and women's place on this
> earth. Our thoughts will be with you as you embark on discussions
> about the universal issues impacting us such as our right to safe and
> legal abortions, forced sterilization, quality childcare and education,
> homelessness, domestic and sexual abuse and exploitation, genital
> mutilation, equal employment, and bringing an end to war, poverty,
> hunger, sexism, racism and homophobia. We applaud you for your
> dedication and tenacity and wish you total success in your mission.

> Radical Women, founded in 1967 in Seattle, Washington, USA, is a
> socialist feminist international, autonomous women's group located
> throughout the United States, Canada and Australia. We are dedicated
> to achieving the full equality of women in all levels of society and
> work with men who also support this feminist idea. As socialist
> feminists, we believe our total liberation can only be realized by
> making radical changes in the economic, social and political structures
> of the system we live under: capitalism. We must replace capitalism
> with socialism. Feminism -- women's rights -- is inseparable from
> socialism. Feminism is a reason for socialism because socialism is
> the economic prerequisite for women's emancipation. Those of us who
> live under capitalism know it can never give us our full and equal
> rights without killing itself. Capitalism is what creates the very
> things we are fighting against.

> All of our countries face challenging times with the expansion of
> yankee imperialism, the rising Nazi movement and the rightwing juntas.
> And it is women and their children who bear the brunt of these systems.
> But it is women, who suffer most from the old, who will fight most
> energetically and persistently for the new. It is up to women, the
> majority of the world's population, constituting one half of every
> ethnic group and every class, to unite and lead an international
> revolutionary movement that can win our total freedom, equality and
> human liberation. We call on you to rise to these challenges and
> we salute you in taking on the struggle.
