La Colectiva Feminista en Construcción is a grassroots feminist movement that brings together the student, anti‐ colonialism and LGBTTIQ struggle to oppose the racist and patriarchal colonial system and work towards achieving structural change. They are building a grassroots feminist movement which recognizes that the different manifestations of oppression (including sexism, cis‐sexism machismo, racism, xenophobia, and capitalism) are interrelated and need to be opposed collectively. Their political project comes from the tradition of Black feminism, articulating the fight against hetero‐patriarchy, anti‐Black violence, and capitalism.
