La Marea Verde is a powerful feminist movement in Latin America advocating for women's reproductive rights, particularly the legalization of abortion. Originating in Argentina in 2018, the movement is symbolized by green handkerchiefs and has since spread to countries like Colombia, Uruguay, and Mexico. It has played a pivotal role in shifting public discourse and influencing legal reforms concerning abortion access in the region.
