Cristina and Paca reflect on the total lack of rights they had as women in the 1960s, when they came of age 4 years later than men, could not open a bank account or file a complaint without their father or husband, and were prohibited from being judges or prosecutors. They remember how this forced them to exercise double activism: on the one hand, a political one, in which they fought alongside their male colleagues for democracy and freedom for all. But, on the other hand, they had to exercise feminist activism, within their own parties and against their own colleagues, to claim women's rights and independence. From the decriminalization of contraceptives or abortion to the divorce law, Paca and Cristina put on the table everything they achieved in the 1970s and 1980s, and warn the new generations of women about the need and importance of continuing to fight to increase those rights and avoid a setback. #podcast #videopodcast
