Chile, was founded the women's Party: The new Constitution cannot be written without the presence of a feminist

It is the first in the political history of Chile. It's called PAF, which stands for Partido Alternative Feminista. A party of women, for women, born by the thrust of the collective LasTesis, a group which has become famous throughout the world for having designed and launched the song to the rhythm of A violador en tu camino, A rapist on your street, theatrical representation, which denounced the rape and feminicide.

Appeared in the 5 December last year when a 10-thousand women gathered in front of the National Stadium, one of the most sombre, the torture centres created with the coup of Pinochet, giving way to this collective complaint, the group has collected more and more adhesions. Two days ago, he decided to become the party and the strength of its 900 investigators registered in the electoral Service of Chile (Servel). Now awaits the approval of the authorities to formalize his candidacy, which still needs 10 thousand signatures.

Without knowing each other or see each other before, 100 women decided to meet and gather in this collective on the thrust of the revolt which for four months has rocked Chile. Imposed issues related to the historical battles of women, including the violence inside and outside the walls of the home up to denounce the increasing cases of femicide that affect a large part of the Latin american countries.

In six weeks, the 100 founders of the organization have approved a charter, elected a board of directors and assigned the offices main. Dressed in black with a red scarf around his neck, along with 70 other investigators have waited for the registration to the Servel. Once you are embraced, and between the smiles and tears of emotion, they sang their famous song. “We are convinced,” said Rosa Moreno Moore, the president of PAF, former director of Greenpeace in Chile, for 20 years, has found refuge in Brussels since 1997, “that the new Constitution (announced by president Piñera), cannot be written without the presence of feminist and no parity. The only way to participate in the constituent process, without having to depend on political parties as it is today is precisely to give life to a new political force”.

the First of the party, a feminist in the modern history of Chile, the PAF still has his ancestor created in the last century. One, in particular, the Partido Femenino de Chile, which between 1946 and 1954 fought to extend women the right to vote obtained in 1949. From its ranks came the first senator, Maria de la Cruz Toledo.
