Reseña | ‘Santa Evita', Miniserie

[mashounen1945]

English translation:

No, we're not a normal country.

Written by Estela Díaz, Minister of Women, Gender-related Policy and Sexual Diversity of the Buenos Aires Province. Published by the Argentinean newspaper "Page 12" on August 4th, 2023.

--------------------------------------------------

As one of the pillars of its eternal campaign of discouragement, the Argentinean right wing insists on the idea that Argentina "is not a normal country." And as illustrated very synthetically by a spot replicated on social media, this may be true because it is a different, "wonderful homeland". It is also true in its contribution to the fight for women's equality, the struggle of diversity collectives, and the female leaders we were able to conceive.

It is not normal that one same country has generated Eva Duarte de Perón and the Mothers and Grandmothers of May Square, and in the 21st century, a female leadership like that of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, mass movements such as "Not One Woman Less", the International Women's Strikes, and the Green Wave for abortion rights.

It is not normal to have a popular movement such as Peronism -the most important in Argentinean history- represented by two couples of leaders: in its emergence in the middle of the last century, J.D. Perón and Eva; at the end of that century and the beginning of the current one, Néstor Kirchner and Cristina, who renewed the movement's doctrine as the link between love and politics was reinforced. The undoubtedly assembled personal affections intersect with the love for the neighbour and for the homeland.

It is not normal for societies to be so politicized, from the entire ideological spectrum. Everything is discussed politically in this country, and there's a role obviously played by women in that politicization. Despite having been confined for centuries to the domestic sphere, they always found a way to have that resistant, collective, fighting voice be heard. In Argentina, women were protagonists since early times in the struggles for independence, for equal wages at the birth of the labour movement around 1900, and for universal suffrage; the latter was crowned massively with "Evita" Perón with the approval of the women's suffrage law in 1947, and it was also materialized in terms of political organization in more than 3,600 local headquarters (known in Argentinean Peronism as "grassroots units") of the Feminine Peronist Party, and the first national and provincial congresswomen elected in 1951 in a most early precedent of the electoral quota that would have Argentina as a pioneer country in 1991.

It is not normal that, back in 1950, "Evita" had already proposed that housework be recognized economically, that it was invisible work and was putting women in conditions bordering on slavery. She anticipated a debate and proposals the feminist movement would only manage to develop half a century later.

It is not normal for women –such as the Mothers and Grandmothers of May Square– to stand up to our most atrocious and bloody dictatorship, turning turned the round walk into a march and the diaper into a handkerchief, the latter being a worldwide emblem of resistance to authoritarianism today; women who thus disrupted the history of the identification of women solely as mothers, a system that ensured women's subordination in patriarchal societies. From this socialization and politicization of the motherhood of the Mothers and Grandmothers of May Square, common sense was transformed and the horizon of popular feminisms in Argentina was broadened.

It is not normal that, for more than thirty-five years and without interruption, there are national meetings of women, lesbians, transvestite and trans people, who debate in a participatory manner and generate the largest manifestations in the history of every city of the country. It's also not normal for these meetings and manifestations to be repeated like rites renewing a movement that, in each historical context, gradually defines a political agenda that always defends the expansion and conquest of rights and resists the attacks in times of neoliberalism.

It is not normal for the first female president, elected and re-elected, after losing mid-term elections and Néstor –her partner in life and activism–, to reinforce his management decisions by deepening the "National Project" in a popular sense. She recovered the retirement and pension system, which had been privatized in the 90s, and implemented the Universal Allocation per Child, gay marriage, the gender identity law, the law on domestic workers' labour rights, and so many other laws and policies that, by 2015, had left the country largely free of foreign debt and with high levels of wealth redistribution.

It is not normal to produce a massive and creative social movement like Argentinean feminism, which has created slogans –the "Not One Woman Less"– and symbols –the white handkerchief first, the green one later– replicated across Latin America and the world.

What is normal is the right wing, in all its versions, attacking gender-related policies, women's rights, and the active presence of the State, expressed as women's ministries with some of the highest hierarchies and budgets in the world. Because the right wing knows the People's Feminism we embody is a movement that will confront them and offer effective resistance to their attempts to destroy our rights.

In a nutshell, it is true: we're not a normal country. We're a wonderful country.
