Justice for Antonia

These days are very confused. The confinement. The introspection. The injustice. Writing help me to free my chest that I been felt so tight. It’s hurts me trying to understand and recognize all that happen. The rage and the anger sometimes mist all, and we really want that everything burn. Because hurts me know that the system always protects the rapists, the abuser. Your rapist and that of my friends, and all the women in my family. We are tired that people, men specially, feeling themselves with the right to blame us. Because the patriarchy has marked us all. I’m so tired for feel that I’m lucky, because I wasn’t be raped and only abused. What is it? I´m not satisfied whit that. However, to know that this felling to anger, rage, but also hope that it changes, moves us all comforts me. I’m think in my women ancestors. How much of her feelings and thought were silent? Well, now I´m just thankful for having amazing, stronger, and fighting women in my own, because we have e...

Childhood series: Caillou

My grandmothers house, the room that I shared with my little brother and my fathers, and of course, the TV, because in this time I watched TV a lot more than I do now. This memories are very special to me because I arrived from Santiago at   3 years old to live in Melipilla with my grandparents for the first time. In this house I just lived 5 years, but is in this place where my childhood memories are. My grandmother had a TV   on the dinning room that was so particular for me since it was so old that I liked for their strange shape and color but just a little because we could see only 3 or 4 national channels. I remember that one button was broken and we had to change the channels with the help of a pencil. In this TV I watched Canal 13 because in the mornings showed programs for kids like The Powerpuff Girls, which I always I loved. But since this TV didn’...

Mónica González

Mónica González is a woman that I admire so much. She is a chilean journalist who in 2019 was awarded for the national journalism award. This prize was an acknowledgment for more than 40 years of her work for free and independent journalism. One of her most valuable work was about bring to light, trought reports and interviews, the human rights violations during the dictatorship. Was in this time that she worked as investigation reporter for Cauce and Analisis magazines. Because at that time, were the written media, especially which were independent and opossed to the undemocratic government, which had a main role for the freedom of expresion and against the censure.  In fact she had to go into exile in Paris as a result of the political persecussion of the regime, but this didn't mean an end to her career as jorunalism. Actually, she stayed working during and after the dictatorship. She published a lot of books wich she compiled her main journalis...
