Ms. Magazine | Latin American Feminists Are Rising Up Against Violence. The International Community Should Join Them.
Excerpt of Ms. Magazine op-ed by GJC’s Danielle Hites.
Latina feminist activists have poured onto the streets to challenge government and police officials for their failure to protect women from this lethal discrimination. Pointing to the misogynist and machismo institutions, they have made clear that their inaction is complicity.
The international community must lift these voices and hold governments accountable to their obligations to protect the rights to life, equality and freedom from torture.
