Argentina's abortion campaign launches virtual events to revitalise movement

Activists seemed on the brink of victory when they were stalled by the pandemic, now Congress is back in session with a historic bill

Feminists in Argentina like to say: la lucha esta en la calle" - the battle is in the streets. But with the country under a strict coronavirus lockdown, the women's movement can no longer flood the streets.

So on Thursday, activists have planned a series of virtual events to mark 15 years of their campaign to legalize abortion - and inject new momentum to campaign which was stalled by the pandemic, just as it seemed on the brink of victory.
