  • Summary

  • Our series begins in Buenos Aires, the birthplace of the Green Wave. In 2020, Argentina achieved a milestone by legalizing abortion up to 14 weeks. But a new right-wing president could potentially jeopardize this progress. We meet feminist lawyer Soledad Deza, who represented Belén, a woman who was imprisoned for an obstetric emergency and whose story catalyzed what would become an international movement; and we speak with Marta Alaniz, the founder of the Argentina chapter Catolica por el Derecho de Decidir (Catholics for the Right to Decide). Marta, a Green Wave icon, recounts how the green scarf became the symbol of the movement: “how much can be said without saying anything at all?” As the Green Wave reaches the shores of the US in a perilous time for reproductive freedom, our resident expert and feminist lawyer Ximena Casas explains that what Argentina has achieved, and what the Green Wave continues to do, can serve as both a warning and a blueprint for success for Americans invested in the fight to protect our bodily autonomy. Visit greentiderising.com to learn more about the series, watch our accompanying Youtube video series ‘Entonces’, and find out how you can join the movement by following us on social media @greentiderising.
