About Feminism

I met feminism theoretically when I started attending the University in 2014. I learned feminist theory thanks to the debates that were given and thanks to my colleagues. At that time, feminism was not as widespread as it is today in Chile.

But I believe that my feminist formation began in my childhood when my mother told me that I had to study so that nobody would keep me economically. And also grew up with models of strong women: my mom, my grandmother and my sister. Although when I was a girl I did not have the concept of feminism in my head, if I had those ideas.

Now I consider myself feminist and it is a struggle that I take day by day. It has greatly affected my conception of seeing the world. I am able to perceive the sexist behaviors of people and the confrontation. Understanding feminism made me position myself in the world.
