On October 19, in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, in southern Mexico, a discussion entitled "Struggles and emancipations in the global South: from Kurdistan to Abya Yala" was held, organized by professors and students of the Institute of Historical-Social Research of the Universidad Veracruzana. Different students from the faculty of sociology, history and anthropology, as well as students from different postgraduate programs in social sciences, participated in the dialogue with a member of the Academy of Democratic Modernity.

The event began with the participation of women from the student movement recently organized at the university against patriarchal violence, who denounced the harassment of male professors and students and the impunity of the institutions themselves. This theme was linked to the liberation struggle of Kurdish women and how their example of organization has been elemental in confronting violence and the historical oppression of women around the world.

The dialogue brought together around 70 people and consisted of an initiative to disseminate the processes of democratic autonomy in Kurdistan, the experience of Rojava and how new theoretical and political references are being built in the Middle East to analyze capitalism and patriarchy. At the end of the event, the attendees chanted the slogan: “Woman, Life, Freedom” (Jin, Jiyan, Azadi).
