OBERLIN GLOBAL FEMINIST COLLECTIVE
“When you see us on the streets, know this: our grief has become a chorus, and our chorus will not be silenced.”
Profile: Lucía, 41, Buenos Aires. Teacher and activist in Ni Una Menos.
Q: What does Ni Una Menos mean to you personally? A: “It began as grief — another girl murdered. But when I carried the sign in the plaza, I felt something shift. We were not mourning alone. We were transforming pain into power.”
Q: How has the movement changed feminism in Argentina? A: “It made feminism visible. Not just in universities but in streets, unions, schools. It taught us that feminism is not elite, it belongs to everyone.”
Q: What do you hope the world learns from Latin America’s feminism? A: “That feminism can be joyful even in anger. Our chants, our dances, our pañuelos verdes — they are forms of resistance too.”
