Córdoba hosts 39th Plurinational Encounter of Women and Diversities

The 39th Plurinational Encounter of Women, Lesbians, Trans, Travestis, Bisexuals, Intersex, and Non-Binary people is taking place in Córdoba, Argentina, from October 10 to 12, 2026. The event has drawn an estimated crowd of 100,000 to 150,000 participants from across the country.

The gathering features approximately 100 workshops organized into 13 thematic axes, covering issues such as health, education, labor, human rights, and gender identities. Key discussions include the impact of economic austerity on women and diverse populations, the defense of reproductive rights, and the fight against gender-based violence.

Participants have expressed strong opposition to the policies of President Javier Milei, criticizing what they describe as the defunding of gender assistance programs and the rise of hate speech. The event includes several large-scale marches, including one specifically addressing violence against trans individuals, and concludes with a final assembly to read the meeting's conclusions and elect the next host city.
