Marcela Torres Heredia, researcher, activist

We learn from the Latino Feminist Movement. We learn about inequality, what it produces, and how the position of power changes. We are learning about exclusion mechanisms. We need to have knowledge and learn from each other about the prevention of violence, and why it is important to have the political will to change the issue of violence against women and FLINTA persons. We are trying to break the production of patriarchy from the street to the institution, and we say STOP Femicide, Stop capitalism, stop colonialism, and stop the binary narrative.
