Venezuelan feminist collectives staged a concentration in Caracas to demand the prioritization of labor and women’s rights amidst new elections and threats of reinstated US sanctions. In a rally for International Working Women’s Day on Friday, dozens gathered in Plaza Venezuela, the center of the capital, to draw attention to working-class women’s living conditions and ratify demands that have gone unheard over the years. Interviewed by Venezuelanalysis, Suhey Ochoa from the feminist organization Pan y Rosas (Bread and Roses) said that Venezuelan women are currently in need of three fundamental rights: legal, safe, and free abortion, better salaries to cover basic living costs, and shelters and economic assistance for women who suffer from gender-based violence. https://venezuelanalysis.com/multimedia/womens-day-in-venezuela-feminists-advocate-for-labor-and-womens-rights/
