translated from Spanish: Javiera Toro, common erto: “There is resistance to women’s advancement and feminist politics”

Javiera Toro is the president of Comunes, the relatively new party of the Broad Front that was born from the merger between the Autonomous Left and Poder Ciudadano. The manager was invited to a new chapter of the podcast of The Desk; The Fourth Wave.
One of the topics to be touched by was the controversy around the publications of the Ministry of Law of the University of the Andes, something that for Toro “is part of a greater issue”.
And it is that the president of the front-front party assures that religion, when included in the process of training in education, “does a lot of harm, prevents us from being able to train young people who can function freely, who can live their sexuality freely.”
Javiera Toro also commented that “as a party we were part of and participated in the outburst of feminist”. This, for the members of Commons, means “putting a fundamental emphasis on the problem of inequality, since Chile is a deeply unequal country”.
“Being a feminist party is not declaring, it is not simply having women’s parity in positions of representation, but it is being in function and at the service of feminist struggle. And that I think is fundamentally the fight for rights,” he added.
Feminism, politics and religion were the themes that you can hear in chapter 21 of The Fourth Wave, together with Macarena Segovia and Javiera Toro. Don’t miss it!
