The event is part of the Equal Care Day. The Equal Care Day is an initiative of klische*esc e.V. and was initiated in 2016. It aims to raise awareness of the fact that in our society, care work is often not valued highly, if valued at all.

How is care related to the economy? Why is there a need for a feminist critique of growth? What would happen if care work were to be at the center of the economy? We would like to discuss these and other questions with you and our guests at the Equal Care Day. Guests are: Medinetz Leipzig e.V., CABL e.V., Gender Competence Centre Saxony, Netzwerk Vorsorgendes Wirtschaften, the feminist strike alliance Leipzig, Care Revolution Leipzig, Buurtzorg Connewitz and Ver.di. Come and discuss with us!

Workshop in cooperation with Mut – Macherinnen* project of DaMigra e.V.
Referees: Denise Braz and Catalina Ariza

The double working day from the perspective of feminismo comunitario (communitarian feminism); a feminism that regards patriarchy as the base of all existing oppression against women; as a historically and culturally global structure. With the speakers Denise Braz and Catalina Ariza we would like to reflect on how to overcome the barriers that have differentiated the situation of oppression of women between the global South and the global North for centuries.

Film screening and talk with Women in Exile and friends

Women in Exile would like to watch their short film „Testimonials from the uterus“* with you and talk about it. The film is part of her project „Health care for all without discrimination“. Here, three refugee women talk about their experiences in the health care system and about how difficult it is as asylum seekers to get adequate medical care. Experts who support refugees also share their observations about what it means to be a Non-Citizen* in the German health care system.

When people talk about work or the job, they often lose sight of something fundamental: Being there for others, caring for oneself and others is vital work – called „care“ work. However, it often remains invisible and is not valued very much.
What would happen if care work were at the centre of economy? If the needs and livelihoods of all mattered, not only within national borders but worldwide?
We have developed tools for education with feminist approaches to answer these questions in a participatory and playful way in educational contexts. Together we will try out and discuss some of these methods during the workshop. For all those who are active in educational work or would like to learn educational methods.

If one leaves the European context and looks at the situation of women from a global perspective – which is urgently needed especially in the context of migration and flight – apparently clear feminist positions complicate themselves. Further forms of oppression and power relations are added. Feminists worldwide are mostly united in the fight against patriarchy, while at the same time, depending on their geopolitical location and class, contradictory positions clash in a conflictual way. In a globalized world, transnational contexts must be discussed anew, even in feminist fights. The workshop will provide space for this discussion.

The right of all people to health care has been embedded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights since 1948. But in reality, access to health care is unavailable for many social groups. Asylum seekers, illegalised refugees, EU citizens fail due to the barriers put in their way by german authorities. Fear of deportation or piles of debt make people avoid going to a doctor, which can cause treatable illnesses to become chronic and sometimes life-threatening. The Medinetz Leipzig e.V. would like to discuss this grievance with you in the workshop. No previous knowledge is necessary. We expect a maximum of 24 participants.
