'Feminist Tsunami' in South American - article

[ArabellaScott]

All power to women in S America. It's inspiring how brave and organised they are - in the face of a dangerous and very paternal society.

'These are particularly challenging times for women in Latin America. Rather than back off, however, they continue to join forces to make their voices heard. From the streets to the virtual online space, old and new generations have found ways to connect allowing them to engage in a continuous struggle towards gender equality.

By exposing authoritarian and misogynist attitudes, they have kept the feminist flame alive. '

Inspirational. Femicide is endemic in Latin America.

Yes, 'Latin America is recognized as the deadliest place for women and girls in the world with the highest rates of femicide' - according to that article.

Well done, those women.

Also, feminist tsunami would be an EXCELLENT band name

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if women all rose up at once. It's always been hard for women to organise, I think, not least because of childcare responsibilities.

“Sometimes I wonder what would happen if women all rose up at once. “

This is one men’s worst fear of women. If we all got together and went on strike from emotional labour, sex, engaging with them or any domestic labour en masse then I’m sure we would get more accomplished.
