Descrição
Resumo:This article analyses focuses in the well succeded proccess that leaded to the approval of the Interruption of Pregnancy Act in Argentina en Dezember 2020; a victory read from an self-biographic, feminist, southern, situated and interseccional perspective. It aims to narrate the historical process from the knowledge and activist experience of Celina Rodriguez Molina: an standing point that tensions the well known institutional and mediatic versions of the very same process. It also question the belief that feminist only work on certain specific agendas like gender based violence or abortion, and shows the continuity of intersectional struggles embodied in personal-colective experience of Celina. In her own words: "everything I did in my life, I did it from collective spaces of organizations, not as an individual". In her narrative, the historical protagonism is attached to net-working strategies of activism, to the long term building of organizations and the ethic of "poner el cuerpo" [put yourself in the line], engaging in several struggles at the same time, overpassing a generational politics of seeing to turn into an integrated genealogical narrative.
