To challenge patriarchal structures
In June 2008 we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the last feminist conference that took place in Portugal: the 2nd Feminist and Education Conference. Organized by the Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas (National Council of Portuguese Women), it was up to a new generation of women of that era to open the conference, which was performed by Elina Guimarães.
Like in those days, the need to challenge society’s patriarchal structures, which still tie women to situations of oppression and discrimination, and the importance of building ‘another possible world’, that is also feminist, constitute the essence of this impulse to generate a strong movement that leading to the realization of a Feminist Conference in 2008.
In the early 20th century it was the right to vote, the right to education and to work that mobilized intellectuals, progressives and feminists (men and women) to ensure equal rights between men and women. The half-a-century of fascist regime came as a huge step back on that road towards equality: the situation regressed in terms of education (women lost more ground, although it also regressed for men), in terms of the right to work, of their economical independence and in terms of the rights to civil and political participation (equally restricted for men). Some feminist organizations resisted still some decades of fascism, as was the case of the Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas (National Council of Portuguese Women) and the Associação Feminina para a Paz (Feminine Association for Peace), but the regime would end up prohibiting their activities, closing down their offices and persecuting their leaders.
