Latin America: Popular Resistance and Feminist Struggle in Times of Corona

Latin America is one of the parts of the world currently hardest hit by the corona pandemic. Nevertheless, in many countries there is still a fierce, active popular resistance. Especially the feminist movement continues to mobilise strongly. In some countries, victories are also being won in these difficult times. In Argentina, for example, a powerful and long-lasting struggle recently led to the legalisation of abortion. How is the COVID 19 crisis affecting different countries? What about the actual situation of the popular movements and feminist struggles?
