Abstract

GOMES, Simone da Silva Ribeiro. Mobilization and Political Opportunities in Nicaragua. A Feminist Debate. LiminaR [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.2, pp.17-28. ISSN 2007-8900.

This text discusses the structures that offer political opportunities and how the latter have led to the re-politization of young people in Nicaragua. We deliberate on the repercussions of an electoral de-politization and Sandinista re-politization, as well as the absence of opportunities for women. There are tensions and possibilities for young people, who do not identify with the current Sandinista regime, even as they consider the Sandinista Revolution to be an important reference. Discussion also centers on an ethnographic study done in three Nicaraguan cities, Managua, León, and Chinandega, during the 2016 presidential elections, and on interviews with young feminists.

Keywords : feminism; youth participation; social movement.
