Colombia Section

edit

The fifth wave of feminism in Colombia focuses advocacy on sexual violence.[1] In Buenaventura, there is an all-women feminist school called the Escuela de Mariposas de Alas Nuevas (School of Butterflies with New Wings).[2] The feminist school is for Afro-Colombian and indigenous women. The school advocates against women's violence and seeks to change the idea of the feminized body.[2]

Sexual violence against women did not become apart of the political conversation until the peace process with Colombia's government and the FARC.[3] Before then, violence and armed conflict was only addressed from a male point of view. Colombian feminists in NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) and other feminist activists projected their point of view on how sexual violence against women is a problem in Colombia, which started the conversation of the fifth wave idea.[3]

The Colombian Constitutional Court issued Colombia's abortion law, C-355, in 2006.[4] Feminists groups such as La Mesa have protested against C-355 with the reasoning that the law causes a violation to women's sexual and reproductive rights.[4]

In general, Latin American feminists reject white, Western feminism and its feminist models. While running for a spot in a regional parliament, Colombian Eulalia Yagarí González said, "we need a policy for liberating women, but I don't mean a policy like the ones introduced here from Europe and North America."[5]

Peru Section

edit

When Peru changed its government structure to a democratic one in the 1980s, more women's organizations were created.[6] In May of 2010, the feminist organization Colectiva por la Libre Información para las Mujeres (Collective for Free Information for Women) created a safe abortion hotline for women in Peru.[7] The hotline allows for women who chose to get an abortion to do so safely with the medication misoprostol.
