BOGOTA, Colombia – Feminist groups celebrated International Women’s Day with the conviction that their movement is growing. In Caracas, Andrea Paola Hernández recently held up her green bandana to show she is pro-choice.
Hernández, 26, remembers fondly how hundreds of green-clad women celebrated in Argentina late last year after winning their fight to legalize abortion.
The student at the National Experimental University of the Arts is a Women Deliver activist. She said her single mother, who raised her and three other children, is the inspiration behind her fight.
