The "Women Against Cunha" Protest
Rio de Janeiro
12/11/2015
Protesters carrying babies in slings, standing behind a banner that reads "Motherhood is a choice #Women's Spring #Mothers and Children Against Cunha," demonstrated against Bill (PL) 5,069, proposed by Congressman Eduardo Cunha, which sought to restrict access to legal abortion for women who are victims of rape. The protests, which brought together thousands of women across Brazil, were organized through social media, marking the beginning of a new model of feminist cyber-activism known as the "Women's Spring."
