Feministisch vergesellschaften - Her mit dem ganzen Leben!

In the organizer's words:

Whether we are juggling everyday life as a single parent or caring for relatives on a citizen's allowance, whether we are working above the breaking point in hospital or healing the wounds in our communities caused by everyday racism and the violence inflicted on our bodies and relationships - we all know that: Life doesn't carry itself. We carry it. And it is precisely for this that we are devalued. We are isolated and often pitted against each other.

As different as our struggles are, there are common questions: Who keeps life going - and under what conditions? Who gets support, who doesn't? Who has control over whose work, body and time?

The hierarchical separation of productive and reproductive work is central to the devaluation of caring activities and is a mainstay of capitalism: by marking care work as "female" and shifting it into the private sphere, labor costs are reduced and profits are secured. Our labour is exploited multiple times and at the same time vital common goods are privatized. But it's not just about economics. The two-gender division of labor also cements violent patriarchal, cis- and heteronormative gender relations. All of this hits FLINTA* particularly hard.

Our bodies are sexualized and forced into racist and binary norms. In the crisis of capitalism, the authoritarian right worldwide declares that there are only two genders, attacks reproductive rights and attempts to normalize traditional role models. The sealing off of borders and the merciless persecution of migrants shows how dehumanization is progressing and that some lives count even less. At the same time, cheap labor is being recruited to cushion the local care crisis.

We know that liberation for all is only possible if we tackle the "knot of domination" of different oppressive relationships together.

Feminist socialization therefore means attacking this gendered, racist and global division of labour - and with it the devaluation and oppression of those whose work makes life possible in the first place. We want collective care instead of family coercion, public infrastructures instead of neoliberal austerity policies, solidarity instead of right-wing division.

We want to discuss how this can be achieved at the second feminist futures conference:

We invite initiatives in the field of care politics, all those who fight against patriarchal and sexualized violence and femicide, or for queer and trans* liberation, for reproductive justice and diverse lifestyles. Join us in discussing anti-racist and internationalist perspectives in the struggles for freedom of movement and abolitionism, against war and militarization as well as for climate justice.

How can we better connect our struggles? And what strategies does a queer-feminist and anti-racist movement need in times of authoritarian shifts? Let's share experiences, forge alliances and develop concrete steps towards a caring society based on solidarity.

The conference is free of charge and open to all genders. There will be workshops that are only for FLINTA*.
