“【Description】Governments’ decisions usually impact most on the lives of women and people of marginalised genders―yet their stories often go unheard. Wander Women unites tales of different journeys around the world and shines light on the boundaries and constraints―both physical and invisible, political and social―that mould the lives of cis women, trans people and gender-nonconforming individuals.”

“【Description】La nueva Constitución se ha instalado como un referente para las luchas feministas más allá de las fronteras, tanto por haber sido redactada por el primer órgano constituyente paritario de la humanidad, como por el contenido en el que el feminismo es una orientación transversal que permea todo el texto y no solo un capítulo. En el marco de la campaña por el #AprueboFeminista, este 12, 13 y 14 de agosto levantaremos el Encuentro Feminista Transfronterizo: Ahora es Cuando. Esta instancia busca ser un espacio de debate político entre feministas de distintas latitudes reunidas para analizar y proyectar juntas los aprendizajes y desafíos que abre el proceso constituyente en Chile. A solo semanas de la elección en que la población del país definirá el destino de la nueva Constitución, convocamos un espacio de diálogo abierto e internacionalista donde poner en común las contribuciones, apuestas, tensiones y límites del proceso constituyente para el movimiento feminista internacional.”

“【Episode Notes】In this conversation from March 2022, reproductive justice practitioner, organizer, researcher, and educator Jalessah Jackson speaks about decolonial feminism, a framework that forges material feminist solidarities through an examination of the relationship between gender and colonialism. We discuss the origins of this intellectual and organizing framework, its relationship to bourgeois and carceral feminisms, material international solidarity work, and the role of scholar-activism. Get into it!”

I will therefore not discuss these issues any further in this section. Let me just resolve a simple misunderstanding. As we saw in the previous section, the "welfare state" has been criticized on the one hand for excessive intervention and on the other for destroying direct interaction and relationships. And these criticisms are not contradictory. If distribution within autonomous relationships is not possible, or if it is accepted that certain obligations exist regarding distribution, there is no other subject to whom these responsibilities can be ascribed except the state (assuming we have no choice but to presume the existence of national borders). Also, and this is often overlooked, movement towards private relationships is not based on the idea of weakening intervention. On the contrary, intervention regarding the qualities and abilities of individuals ought to be more prevalent within private relationships. If this is indeed the case, it can be concluded that the only option left to us is the construction of a "welfare state" that is anti-interventionist, a welfare state in which distribution is conducted mechanically and everything else is left up to the individual◆31.
