Dia de la Mujer

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.

Siku ya Wanawake

National holiday. Comorian women own the land, run the households, control the economy, and carry the culture on their backs.
