GLORIETA A LAS MUJERES QUE LUCHAN
Read moreErected in 2021, this monument is the brainchild of the feminist collective " Antimonumenta vivas nos queremos " (which could be translated as "antimonumentes, alive we-want-us"), whose aim was to erect counter-monuments with feminist messages, the group recently became the "Frente Amplio de Las Mujeres que Luchan" ("the great front of women who fight"), which today aims to denounce gender violence and give visibility to the fight against feminicide. The statue is nicknamed "Gloriette aux femmes qui luttent" ("Gloriette to the women who fight"). It stands on one of Mexico City's most important thoroughfares, having replaced a statue of Christopher Columbus in the square formerly known as "Glorieta a Colon". This space has thus become highly symbolic for having been decolonized on the one hand, and feminized and rebuilt for the feminist cause on the other. This gazebo is dedicated to all Mexican women, whether indigenous, Afro-Mexican, white, victims, disappeared, fighters, journalists, citizens... who have suffered in one way or another from patriarchal oppression, or who are committed in one way or another to the feminist cause. The erection and presence of this statue in the heart of the capital has unsurprisingly generated a great deal of controversy. This space, together with the action of the feminist collectives behind it, commands respect, humility and admiration.
