The feminist movements became increasingly present in the last decade around the world, through different slogans such as the #NiUnaMenos hashtag in Latin America, the #MeToo denouncing abuses in the film industry in North America, and also its french version called #BalanceTonPorc. In 2018 a feminist student movement in Chile also emerged in the universities, and the Argentinean “pañuelazos” were also present in the struggle for a safe and free abortion. This is how in March 8th 2019, massive strikes took place across the globe claiming for rights and the end of the patriarchy. Taking into consideration this broad context, this panel discusses new forms of activism present in contemporary feminist mobilizations, their global character and their relationship with preceding women's movements.
