Feminist movements organize protests across the Americas for reproductive rights
Feminist movements across the Americas are organizing demonstrations to advocate for reproductive rights, gender equality, and protection against violence. In Brazil, activists link the struggle for abortion rights to the broader history of democratic defense, noting that the fight for bodily autonomy has been intertwined with the country's resistance to authoritarianism.
On International Women's Day, protests are scheduled in dozens of cities across Brazil and Latin America, including major locations in Argentina and the United States. These actions aim to address issues such as unsafe abortion, wage inequality, and systemic gender-based violence.
