This is a U.S. News series featuring women’s voices from across the world. In each video, women answer several questions, including what are the positives and negatives about being a woman in their home country and whether there is gender equality where they live.
In this video, Aixa Dea García Avellaneda, a gender activist in Buenos Aires, talks about the strength she says Argentine women display to overcome the widespread male-dominated culture in South America. She had an illegal abortion at 16, and believes abortion is a fundamental right for all women. In Argentina, abortion is illegal with few exceptions.
