Película Peruana “Yana-Wara”, La Rompe En Cines! | Sobre Justicias, Malparto y Violencia Patriarcal
En la película Yana-Wara, el mundo de las mujeres se construye desde la mirada de los hombres. Todo lo que rige al entorno femenino ha sido y es parte de un mandato patriarcal, donde también los hombres desposeídos e incomprendidos en desventaja pueden ser víctimas. En esta película, los cineastas Oscar Catacora, lamentablemente fallecido durante el rodaje de la película, y Tito Catacora plantean una historia sobre la reacción de un pueblo aimara ante una serie de actos de crimen, violencia y abuso. Continue reading

It’s Time To Rethink the Role of First Lady | Irina Karamanos Adrian | #TEDTalks
In 2021, Gabriel Boric became the elected President of Chile. He was one of the youngest worldwide and one of the most voted in the country’s history. He was supported by a political party called Convergencia Social. And by the time of the election, I was in charge of the feminist front of that party. So even though I was very confident our candidate was going to win, the night itself of the election was still very overwhelming, especially so when we got to walk through the crowds, held by security. You know, it suddenly all felt so real because we were walking to a stage in front of where thousands of people had gathered to celebrate the victory. Continue reading

Hija Del Camino | Las que se atrevieron de Lucía Asué Mbomío Rubio
Hubo un tiempo en el que no existían palabras para designar conceptos que no existían, puesto que la realidad a la que pertenecerían tampoco existía. O sí, pero solo un poco. Y de ese poco nacieron encuentros, relaciones, choques, sorpresas, rechazos e hijos e hijas. Una de ellas ha decidido entrevistar a seis mujeres españolas blancas que se casaron, juntaron o/y tuvieron descendencia con hombres negros cuando el franquismo aún no había expirado, para, de esta forma, rescatar del silencio, con humor y con amor, sus historias no contadas. Continue reading
