Resumen

FRIEDMAN, Elisabeth J.  y  RODRIGUEZ GUSTA, Ana Laura. “The whirlwind”: the eruption of young women in Argentina’s Ni Una Menos protest. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2023, vol.31, n.61, 00003.  Epub 10-Jun-2024. ISSN 0188-7653.  https://doi.org/10.18504/pl3161-003-2023.

In 2015, feminist activism in Argentina reached an unprecedented scale with the Ni Una Menos march. Taking this protest as empirical terrain, this article investigates the factors that explain why young women join feminist movements. In particular, why did they take to the streets to protest and denounce femicides and gender violence. Through interviews with young people, organizers of the march and long-standing feminist activists, it is shown how a novel call framed in prefigurative and performative terms, in addition to the pre-existing feminist organizational matrix, were conditions that enabled the channeling of a young sensibility into street protest. The work highlights generational units, youth structural availability and movement expressive politics as conditions for youth feminist protest.

Palabras llave : youth social protest; feminist mobilization; social movements; feminism in Argentina; gender equality.
