Focusing on art practices that advocate, raise consciousness, and educate about the human right to reproductive health, this book analyses and compares forms of feminist artivism to interrogate bodily rights while closely examining the lived experiences of women and their right of free choice.

El presente libro es parte de este primer ciclo del Programa de investigación asociativa de Género y Diversidad Sexual -GEDIS- de la universidad Alberto Hurtado de Chile. Su propósito es poner a disposición de una comunidad amplia una serie de estudios sobre género y diversidad sexual, realizada por académicos y académicas, estudios que levantan temas contingentes para problematizar las distintas formas que adopta el análisis de género en el campo de las ciencias sociales en Chile. Además, nos acompaña en este intento, Blas Radi, filósofo de la universidad de Buenos Aires y creador de la primera cátedra de estudios trans en América Latina. En este libro, se plasman preguntas sobre la persistencia de la homo/lesbo/transfobia, la construcción de identidades homosexuales o no binarias y la existencia de espacios de resistencia sexual y cultural en las instituciones. El objetivo es dar cuenta del interés que existe en las ciencias sociales por mirar y comprender complejamente cómo la concepción de género se ha transformado en el Chile actual.

This book is a critical resource for understanding the relationship between gender, social policy and women’s activism in Latin America, with specific reference to Chile. Latin America’s mother-centered kinship system makes it an ideal field in which to study motherhood and maternalism—the ways in which motherhood becomes a public policy issue. As maternalism embraces and enhances gender differences, it has been criticized for deepening gender inequalities. Yet invoking motherhood continues to offer an effective strategy for advancing women’s living conditions and rights, and for women themselves to be present in the public sphere. In analyzing these important relationships, the contributors to this volume discuss maternal health, sexual and reproductive rights, labor programs, paid employment, women miners’ unionization, housing policies, environmental suffering, and LGBTQ intimate partner violence.
