Partindo da rejeição à abordagem imperial do feminismo, é realizada uma reorientação da teoria feminista em relação ao cotidiano, em busca de uma epistemologia democrática. Para tanto, é tratado o surgimento da questão colonial dentro do feminismo, da relação entre identidades de gênero, libertação de gênero e o giro decolonial, com análises a partir dos trabalhos de Ada María Isasi-Díaz. Palavras-chave: Feminismo decolonial. Feminismo latino. Prática epistêmica democrática. Giro decolonial.

Por eso las mujeres haremos huelga este año 1 We Need a Feminism For The 99%. That's Why Women Will Strike this Year El 8 de marzo haremos huelga contra la violencia machista, contra los hombres que cometen actos de violencia y contra el sistema que los protege. El 8 de marzo del año pasado, las mujeres de todo tipo marchamos, dejamos de trabajar y tomamos las calles en cincuenta países del mundo. En los Estados Unidos, nos unimos, marchamos, dejamos los platos a los hombres, en todas las grandes ciudades del país y en innumerables más pequeñas. Cerramos tres distritos escolares para demostrarle al mundo, una vez más, que mientras nosotras sostenemos la sociedad, tenemos también el poder de dejar de hacerlo. El 8 de marzo vuelve y las cosas empeoraron para nosotras en este país. En un año de la administración Trump, no solo fuimos atacadas con violencia verbal y amenazas misóginas bajo la apariencia de declaraciones oficiales: el régimen de Trump puso en marcha políticas que van a hacer que esos ataques continúen contra nosotras a través de las vías institucionales. La Ley de Recorte de Impuestos y Empleos les quita los beneficios a lxs trabajadorxs de bajos salarios, de los cuales la gran mayoría son mujeres. Planea atacar con salvajismo a Medicaid y Medicare, los únicos dos programas de salud que quedan en este cruel paisaje neoliberal, para ancianxs y pobres, enfermxs y discapacitadxs, planificación familiar y niñxs y, por lo tanto para las mujeres, que hacen la mayor parte del trabajo de cuidado. Y mientras la ley le niega atención médica a lxs niñxs migrantes, introduce un fondo de ahorro universitario para los «niñxs por nacer», una manera escalofriante de establecer por una vía legal los «derechos» del/a «niñx por nacer» atacando así nuestro derecho fundamental a tomar decisiones sobre nuestros propios cuerpos.

The students sitting in the classroom, only one of whom was a Latina, stared at me with blank perplexity, their foreheads creased with the effort to understand. Some of them literally had their mouths open. How could I possibly make an analogy between the 'discoverer' Christopher Columbus and the statues of tyrants that have been torn down in recent memory, from Saddam Hussein to Stalin? Have I lost my marbles?
