{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Dear sisters, quite short, I would like to give you much love

[00:17:25]
from my organization in Sweden, SKV.

[00:17:29]
"S" stands for Swedish, "K" for Kvinna - woman, [[cross-talk]],

[00:17:34]
"V" for anti-fascist, anti-war, anti- anti-neutron bomb,

[00:17:44]
and that's a growing movement in Sweden,

[00:17:47]
And anti-, anti-Apartheid.

[00:17:53]
I hardly don't need to say that we are happy and proud to have been invited here,

[00:18:00]
by OMA, and that we will be fighting against the Apartheid system,

[00:18:05]
now is one of the most important things in the world.

[00:18:09]
But please, let us now come to concrete matters,

[00:18:14]
because that is what we need in Sweden.

[00:18:18]
We feel very much the importance of this fight for the women in Sweden,

[00:18:25]
in Southern Africa.

[00:18:28]
But, please let us now call to action.

[00:18:35]
Finally, I wonder if you have heard of Víctor Jara?

[00:18:43]
He was a poet and musician murdered by the Chile junta

[00:18:49]
in 1975.

[00:18:54]
They killed him, alright, but not his songs.

[00:18:56]
They are still sobbing, now spread all over the world.

[00:19:01]
This is what I want to say.

[00:19:04]
Music is also a weapon.

[00:19:06]
Now, I bring a song from Sweden to you.

[00:19:10]
It is about the liberation of women, and a message of importance.

[00:19:16]
It says "sisters of all countries - come together,

[00:19:23]
the liberation comes closer and closer."
