A group of women’s rights advocates and city legislators in Buenos Aires have established a new, formal channel of communication. This “Women’s Parliament” holds its second session this month to consider proposals to advance to the legislature.
Silvia Augsburger is synonymous with Argentina’s push to the forefront of global human rights. The retired lawmaker recently discussed the need for more change in a country with a deadly abortion ban and political quotas that work like a “ceiling.”
Argentina’s Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo think a trial now underway could reunite them with stolen grandchildren. A key ally is U.S. Rep. Hinchey, who is pushing Obama to declassify relevant documents by executive order.
Increasingly, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo work through popular youth culture to assist the identity recovery of young people whose parents disappeared under the military dictatorship.
As Argentina continues to search for a way out of its political and economic quagmire, one straight-talking woman is winning the hearts and minds of the people. Populist Elisa Carrio has little government experience and a large agenda.
