Venezuelan women's movements are
taking to the streets of Caracas on Thursday to show their support of
peace and the country’s Bolivarian Revolution amid ongoing internal
and outside imperialist threats against the socialist government.
As part of the “Great
Mobilization for the Defense of the Motherland/Fatherland, Peace and
Life,” a number of women's organizations marched from the Plaza
Bolivar to Plaza Bicentenaria outside the presidential palace in the
center of the capital.
The women's groups are
particularly are concerned about the recent attacks and deaths as a
result of ongoing opposition protests intent on removing President
Nicolas Maduro from power and plans by opposition politicians to
overthrow the government.
“The message that we send to
all the people of Venezuela today is the call to peace, coexistence
and unification of all the people and reject all those who want to
harm our country,” said Ingrid Espinoza from the National Union
of Women. Many women, old and young were seen dressed in red and
holding banners of their social organizations.
