Argentina has blazed a trail for women’s rights in Latin America, with massive movements against gender-based violence and in favor of legal abortion.
But the election of libertarian President Javier Milei—who considers feminism a "ridiculous" fight and abortion "aggravated homicide"—has shifted the landscape. He has made good on his vow to take a chainsaw to public spending, shuttering the Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity, gutting a sex ed program, and slashing funding for reproductive health.
This project goes outside the capital city to learn how women’s organizations in four corners of Argentina are responding to the era of President Milei.
