Online & in the Streets: Protest and Activism in Feminist Movements

LASC348A-HIST328I-WMST379L

*Counts toward Spanish or Government and Politics credits

How do activists fight for change, both online and in the streets? Feminist movements in Latin America are at a critical historical juncture. Activists throughout the hemisphere are organizing to demand change and justice, to denounce pervasive misogyny and gender violence, and to envision and realize another world. They are mobilizing in digital and physical spaces under the hashtags #NiUnaMenos and #AbortoLegalYa, to condemn femicide, to advocate access to legal abortions in public hospitals, and to introduce comprehensive sex education in public schools. From Mexico to Argentina, women, lesbians, trans, and non-binary people are fighting together for the right to live without fear, the right to make decisions about their own bodies, and the right to exist in a just world. If you have any questions, contact Sabrina González at sabgonz1@umd.edu and/or Cecilia Azar at mcazar@umd.edu
