Emma Baker produces a podcast on legal abortion in Argentina and the social movements which lead to this change. From colonial influences on gender norms and the strong Catholic Church that came with the Spanish colonisers, to women’s rights developments post-WW2 suddenly brought to a halt by the military dictatorship, this podcast episode explores the long way that Argentinian women had to come to achieve the legalisation of abortion in 2020. Abortion openly counters the traditional family values that have played such a deep-rooted role in Argentinian society for centuries. The Madres de la Plaza de Mayo during the dictatorship years were the first group of women to ask for justice and stand up for their rights, and the everydayness of activism and protesting that grew since then is something that the Ni Una Menos developed even further since 2015. They united Argentinian women and fought towards the final success in 2020.Many thanks to the experts I had the honor of interviewing:- Dr. Silvana Tapia Tapia, assistant professor of socio-legal studies at the University of Azuay in Ecuador.- Dr. Cora Fernandez Anderson, assistant professor of politics at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts and author of ‘Fighting for Abortion rights in Latin America – Social Movements, State Allies and Institutions.’And to Illan Wall for the continued support, advice, and lecture material provided throughout the module.
