Sciopero delle nascite contro le politiche demografiche della Cina

[deutsch | english | italiano | português] – Questo articolo sulle politiche demografiche della Cina e sul rifiuto delle donne di servire da macchine procreatrici per il programma di sviluppo del PCC è apparso per la prima volta sul settimanale svizzero WOZ in tedesco il 23 gennaio 2020. Nel frattempo, la “Corona crisi" ha colpito (non solo) la Cina, e non è chiaro se l’abolizione ufficiale delle limitazioni alle nascite avverrà quest'anno. La lotta delle donne contro le politiche demografiche dello Stato e per un maggiore controllo sulla loro vita è ancora in corso e potrebbe addirittura intensificarsi di fronte a un'ulteriore interferenza dello Stato nella vita personale delle persone.

Greve de nascimentos contra as políticas populacionais da China

[deutsch | english | italiano | português] – Este artigo sobre as políticas populacionais da China e a recusa das mulheres em serem máquinas de parir para o programa de desenvolvimento do PCCh [Partido Comunista da China] apareceu pela primeira vez no hebdomadário suíço WOZ na Alemanha em 23 de janeiro de 2020. Nesse meio tempo, a “crise do coronavírus” atingiu (não apenas) a China, e não é suficientemente claro se a política oficial de limite aos nascimentos vai ser derrubada este ano. A luta das mulheres contra as políticas populacionais do Estado e por mais controle sobre suas vidas continua e pode inclusive se intensificar frente ao aumento da interferência estatal na vida das pessoas: https://passapalavra.info/2020/04/131292/
