National holiday since 2024. The marches through Santiago are among the largest in Latin America, filling the Alameda from La Moneda to Baquedano with green scarves and fierce conviction. Chilean feminism has its own voice and it does not ask permission.
Observed with marches, speeches, and demands for equal rights and an end to domestic violence. Women's organizations highlight Timorese heroines like Nicolau Lobato's widow and the women of the resistance. Timor-Leste's constitution guarantees gender equality because women fighters made up a significant portion of the resistance. The same women who carried weapons through the mountains now carry the constitutional guarantee of equality : written in blood and law.
You encounter Adelie penguins, leopard seals, and Weddell seals throughout the Antarctic continent. You find that research station inhabitants keep sled dogs, cats, and occasionally rabbits as companions.
