Details
The feminist and LGBTQI+ movements have had many advances in recent years. However, much more remains to be done. Join Zuleika Rivera and Mercedes D'Alessandro in a conversation about key moments in the fight for LGBTQI+ rights and gender equality.
Mercedes D'Alessandro will explore how demonstrations such as #NiUnaMenos and #8M have contributed to the fight for equality in the region. Not only limited to reproductive rights, the conversation will touch on labor markets, government policy, and public spaces, among others. Zuleika Rivera will talk about the struggle of the LGBTQI+ community from a human rights lens. Macarena Sáez will be the moderator.
The panel will include a Q&A session with the speakers and a short preview of the documentary "Que sea ley".
*Please note that the event will be in Spanish.
Entrance to DuPont Underground is on 19th Street.
