Judith Butler: the world observes and draws lessons from Argentine feminist activism – Telam

The feminist philosopher Judith Butler stressed on Tuesday the "collective construction" of the Argentine movement Ni Una Menos, said the non-legalization of abortion "is the way the state was found to punish freedom "and called on men to" break the pact between men to come out condemning violence "of the kind".

"Feminist activist movements around the world are observing and learning about Argentinian activism, it's very inspiring, it's a collective construction that promotes cultural change," said the woman who arrived at the meeting with journalists wearing a green handkerchief identifying the struggle of those who support the right to legal, safe and free abortion in the country.

The author of "Bodies That Matter, The Discursive Limit of Sex" (1993) and an academic from the University of Berkeley added that "the criminalization of abortion is the way that it is. State felt that badual freedom was centralized, because it questions who belongs to the body of the woman.The answer is simple: it is individual, the body belongs to me, I decide. "
