Mutiny around the world
With the participation of Kat Berza (Council for Health and Development)), guest Viva Salud from the Philippines
The world is changing. The 2008 crisis, Covid-19, the war in Ukraine and the genocide in Palestine are all events that call into question US hegemony over the world. But this situation also opens up opportunities. Countries in the Global South are fed up with the injustices imposed by the international system and the states of the North, and they are making their voices heard. All over the world, workers are actively fighting for their rights and against the inequalities created by capitalism. At this meeting, which will bring together guests from all over the world, we will delve into the struggles in their respective countries to talk about their battles and their prospects for the future.
Sunday 8th September
Round table: 13:00–15:00, Discussion tent

Sunday 8th September
Debate: 5:00–6:30 p.m., Plaza Feminista
Care for care workers: solutions to the global shortage of care workers
Healthcare professionals are on the front line in the fight for the right to healthcare for all. To this end, they are fighting against the privatisation of hospitals, the lack of government investment in stable, local healthcare systems, and sometimes even state intimidation. Viva Salud talks to healthcare workers and trade unionists about the causes and global solutions for better working conditions.
