Brazil: The Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST), together with more than 80 social organizations in Brazil, called on the country’s women to a mobilization for International Women’s Day to demand the resignation of President Jair Bolsonaro, vaccines for the entire population and the end of female violence in the South American nation, Radio Rebelde reports.
«On this March 8, 2021, we women from all over Brazil (?) mobilized on International Women’s Day to shout with indignation and feminist fury, Bolsonaro out! Vaccine for the entire population! (?) For the end of violence against women! ?, states the convocation manifesto published on the official profile of the MST on the social network Twitter.
The document condemns that the Covid-19 pandemic has deepened class, race and gender inequalities in the nation.
“The humanitarian tragedy went far beyond the virus and the deaths: with the increase in poverty and the growth of the homeless population,” it adds.
