WOMEN ASK FOR COMPENSATION The Conference of Durban against racism and intolerance have been a meeting place for victims of slavery, colonization, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, the caste system and all kinds of religious and political violence. And what about women ? Sexism was only evoked in the context of the dual oppression it implies for them : a black woman, a muslim woman, a Dalit woman, a Rom woman.But women as victims of a specific kind of oppression, the Patriarchy, out of the question ! We, the Women of the World denounce the violence and the various forms of exploitation that men have inflicted and continue to inflict on us for millennia : for our bound feet our necks imprisoned in rings our sex cut or sewn up our plate-lips or our pierced ears our chastity belts or virginity controls our corsets that suffocate us for our bodies anorexically starved or fattened according to their rules for the women they deprive of education, liberty, autonomy for the women shut into harems or in the home behind the veil, the tchador, the niqab or the burqa for the precocious weddings, the imposed sexual intercourse the unwanted pregnancies, the forced sterilizations the abortion of female fetuses for polygyny, repudiation, the dowry system the discrimination in inheritance for economic exploitation, domestic slavery, the double work day for the blows, the insults, the moral and sexual harassment for the private or collective rapes for pornography, prostitution, women sold in " temporary marriages " or by Organized crime for the acid throwing, the stoning and the rite of Sati for the " witches " burned alive for the honor killings, the murders of women for religious or political slaughters for the little girls they kill or prevent from being born : 100.000.000 women missing in the world . for the control they have exercised and continue to exercise on our lives for our lives that they have stolen for our intelligence that they have smothered for the divisions they have created among us to keep us enslaved, for all the appalling crimes men have committed against women since time immemorial, for having made us the symbol of EVIL in the misogynous religions they have created in their own image, a characteristic tenet of any racist ideology, for our Human Rights that have been scorned, We, the Women of the World, ask the Governments of the various countries for apologize and to place a true value on the financial, legal, professional and political compensations that women have the right to receive.
