Resumen:
Following the brutal rape and murder of Argentine teenager Lucía Pérez, thousands of women in Argentina organised a strike and protest march against gender violence and inequality on Wednesday the 19th of October 2016. The women united under the banner of ?Ni Una Menos? (Not One Woman Less), a social movement which organised its first protest in 2015. Nonetheless, the October protests (referred to as Miercoles Negro ? Black Wednesday) were the largest to date, sparked international media interest, and generated solidarity events throughout the world. This round-table discussion will bring together academics and activists to discuss the origins, importance and future of this massive protest movement.
