Overall the situation of indigenous peoples grows more dire every year because of the worsening global crises. But in the face of their struggles the fights indigenous people take up become more militant, more determined, and more important. The whole world has to join arm in arm with our indigenous brothers and sisters who are taking steps to protect their land, culture, and right to exist in a world that sees them as disposable and displaceable. IWA wishes to extend our appreciation to the organizations we have worked with who partner with indigenous women and peasant women who are on the frontlines of struggling to protect their land and our futures. IWA echoes the call of IPMSDL to mobilize and strengthen our movement for self-determination and liberation. Let us raise the call, “Indigenous Peoples, Fight for a Future Free from Attacks, Plunder & Imperialist Wars!” and calls on all our members around the world: Women: Honor Indigenous Peoples' Day! Defend the Land from Corporate Plunder!

The International Women's Alliance decries the violent kidnapping of Comrade Booker Ngesa Omole, secretary general of of the Communist Party of Marxist Kenya (CPMK), and condemns the US-backed Ruto regime for its blatant fascist attack against CPMK, their organizations, and all those fighting for the genuine liberation and sovereignty of Kenya. At the hands of the Kenya Police Service, Comrade Omole was kidnapped, tortured, and severely beaten. Police cut him with a pen knife, and broke his teeth and fingers. Afterwards he was taken to Mlolongo Police Station, an infamous site in Kenya for its systematic terror, torture and extrajudicial killings against poor Kenyans and political activists. As of February 26 Comrade Booker was transferred to Kitengela Remand Prison with a broken arm after being denied medical care and bail.
