Summary:
The text was issued at December 3rd, 1989, as a manifesto for the formation of an Independant Women`s Association (“Unabhängiger Frauenverband”, UFV) by hundreds of women attending a meeting at the Berlin Volksbühne. It stresses women`s contribution to the transformation of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and calls for further feminist intervention in the building of a completely new democratic, ecological, multicultural and solidarious society without private property accumulation and private property consumtion. As a crash programm it also demands a new definition of work that comprises unpaid labor as well as paid employment.
