4. Women and gender liberation

In this long journey, we have learned that in order to defend our bodies-territories from the systems of death (capitalism, patriarchy and colonialism) it is essential to listen and talk about our organizational experiences, recognizing knowledge, memories, pains, challenges and reflections in order to collectively learn from the paths taken by others.

We invite you to recognize the struggles that women, gender and sexual dissidents in different latitudes of the world agree on, where each organization will share their perspectives and the challenges they face; it will also be an opportunity to weave strong networks of solidarity.

We invite you to share experiences, open hearts and minds, to feel and think about these vines of resistance and care that are germinating and flourishing despite the hegemony that sweeps away with hostility every expression of life.

5. Dispute of ideas

6. Youth

What all revolutionaries have in common is their ability to protect their youthful spirit, because these youth look to the future with the desire to transform the present, to transform the conditions of poverty, precariousness, unschooling and informality in which capitalism and colonialism have submerged us. Although youth is the dynamic force of society, this society does not provide it with the tools to energize its agendas and goals. That is why we believe that it is the youth who have the strength to fight and overthrow capitalist modernity, but with the appropriate conditions.

Women and youth are the vanguard of democratic modernity, whether in a biological or social sense, youth are the future of society and humanity. Youth is the future itself; the future path of our societies, our lands and our world is in the hands of young people. The future belongs to us. Therefore, the organization of youth is one of the fundamental conditions for the defense of humanity, nature and life itself.

The discussions at this table will revolve around: 1. Socio-political and historical context of youth. 2. Analyzing and criticizing the present. 3. Planning. Which in other words would be past, present and future.
