Through separate statements, international women’s organizations demand an end to interference and pressure on Venezuela, confirming that the electoral process of July 28 was carried out normally and resulted in a resounding victory for Nicolás Maduro.
We share with you the statements of the women’s movements affiliated with the International Democratic Federation of Women (IDWF), an organization with presence on all continents. Both the International Federation and the FDIM organizations in Venezuela, took a position in defense of Venezuelan sovereignty and in rejection of the actions of extreme right-wing groups in their attempt to destabilize the country.
Women’s organizations from various countries affiliated with the FDIM participated as international observers and confirmed the normality of the election day.
They also expressed their concern over the statements by the Presidents of Colombia and Brazil, which they described as an act of interference.
Women’s movements around the world reaffirm their solidarity with the Venezuelan people in their struggle for peace and sovereignty.
Below are the statements:
International Democratic Federation of Women
The International Democratic Federation of Women, FDIM, to the international community and the Venezuelan people expresses:
That it ratifies its solidarity with the people of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela who are facing these days the persistent attack of the Venezuelan and international extreme right.
We express our full support for the demand of the Venezuelan people and government that the sovereignty of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and its right to self-determination be respected.
We reaffirm that, as international observers of the presidential elections held on July 28 of this year, we witnessed that these elections, which gave a resounding victory to the candidate Nicolás Maduro Moros, took place normally.
We also witnessed the offensive of Venezuelan far-right armed groups that tormented the country in the following days, leaving a number of people dead and injured, as well as important public and private infrastructure destroyed or damaged.
We demand an end to interference and pressure, especially from the United States government, which includes a media coup offensive, even a blockade and severe sanctions that cause severe damage to the people.
We regret the position of the governments of Brazil and Colombia, who, in an act of interference, are asking for elections to be repeated, when it is up to the Venezuelan judicial and electoral authorities to finally determine the electoral results of the elections held in the sister country on July 28.
We salute the women and the Bolivarian people who defend peace and sovereignty.
International Democratic Federation of Women
FDIM.

Women’s organizations
Venezuelan women’s organizations affiliated with the International Democratic Federation of Women (IDWF), in response to the onslaught of the world’s right wing against the electoral process experienced in our country, declare:
- We ratify our commitment to an electoral process that was experienced as a celebration and took place in peaceful peace, a process that occurred amidst more than 930 Unilateral Coercive Measures and a criminal blockade by North American imperialism, where the Venezuelan people in defense of their democracy participated and made a decision and re-elected Nicolás Maduro Moros as constitutional president for the period 2025-2031, in defense of sovereignty and the homeland as a whole.
- We ratify our unrestricted support for the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, represented by our undisputed leader, Nicolás Maduro Moros.
- We highlight the role of Venezuelan women in defense of peace, Latin American integration and the fight for a multipolar world, where solidarity, social justice and love prevail as fundamental values for the relationship between the peoples of the world.
- We deeply value the position of more than 50 countries in the world, which have recognized the electoral results of the Venezuelan electoral process, thus respecting our sovereignty and independence and the principles of self-determination and non-interference as established by the United Nations Charter.
- We express our concern regarding the statements of regional governments in Latin America, ignoring the internal institutionality of Venezuela, statements that the enemy of the North uses to undermine the integration of the peoples of Latin America, where their intention is to implode the Nation-States to plunder our natural resources.
- We call for the unity of all women’s movements in the world, in the face of this new imperialist attack against the people of Venezuela and we urge the unity of all peoples in the face of the impositions of the alleged hegemony over our country and other peoples of the world.
- From the FDIM we reject this new imperialist attack, ratifying the unanimous repudiation of the blockade against Venezuela and we repudiate all sectors that seek to destabilize the country, a resolution approved at the VIII Regional Conference of America and the Caribbean, held in Bolivia in June 2024.
- We call on the entire global women’s movement to promote solidarity actions against multidimensional war, towards the Venezuelan people, for peace and for regional integration.
Long live Venezuela, always free and sovereign
