Rio de Janeiro
28/10/2015
Portrait of a protester holding a handmade sign that reads “misogynists will not pass #foracunha” during a demonstration against Bill (PL) 5.069, proposed by Congressman Eduardo Cunha, which aimed to restrict access to legal abortion for women who have been victims of rape. The demonstrations, which brought together thousands of women from all over Brazil, were called for on social media, giving rise to a new model of cyberactivist feminist activism, called “Women’s Spring”.
