Latin America’s Domestic Workers’ Movements: Feminism from the Kitchen to the Congress

In Latin America, feminism is not only found in the streets but also in kitchens and living rooms. Domestic workers - mostly Afro-descendant and Indigenous women - have turned centuries of invisible labor into a movement for dignity, rights, and recognition. Their struggle expands feminism from the public square to the private home, redefining justice itself.

Ni Una Menos and the Streets of Latin America

On June 3, 2015, the streets of Buenos Aires filled with the words “Ni Una Menos” — “Not One [Woman] Less.” What began as outrage over femicide in Argentina grew into a continental feminist uprising, linking gender violence to struggles against austerity, racism, and authoritarianism. This essay explores how Ni Una Menos transformed grief into defiance, turning plazas into classrooms, parliaments, and stages for a new kind of mass feminist politics.
