III. The Absolute and Unequivocal Liberation of Women.
Fundamental to any revolutionary organization and conscious social movement is the absolute economic, political and cultural equality between men and women. The subjugation of raza women is a major part of the overall oppression of our people under capitalism and imperialism. There exists a more intense oppression of raza women - exploited and repressed not only by class and race, but also by gender. True liberation cannot take place until all sectors of La Raza are free.
We recognize that sexism and male chauvinism are bourgeois traits that must be completely rejected and overturned for any of us to win freedom. Subjugation of women is an integral part of the current socio-economic order imposed on our people, and we must actively combat sexism in all its forms and manifestations, both within our movement and throughout our communities. Revolutionary examples from people’s struggles in Chile, Cuba, El Salvador, México, Nicaragua, and Vietnam educate us that women’s liberation is an essential part of national and class liberation. Unión del Barrio insists that without the full participation and leadership of revolutionary women, there will be no victory in revolutionary struggle.
