A story from a different place that talks about civil rights and how they feel on the topic. Feminist Activism and Women’s Rights Mobilization in the Chilean Círculo de Estudios de la Mujer: Beyond Maternalist MobilizationThis case study of women’s mobilization under authoritarian rule in Chile exposes some of the challenges in the history of women’s definition of a liberation language and of subsequent activist strategies for rights. It adopts a gendered lens to analyze the distinct contributions Chilean women have made in defense of human rights as they helped shape a new human rights practice in Chile. Examining a pioneering women’s organization under the Pinochet Dictatorship (1973-1989), the Círculo de Estudios de La Mujer (Women's Studies Circle), it shows how women redefined their responsibilities and rights when the regime prohibited previous patterns of political participation. Circulo activists built new foundations for a mobilization in favor of “mothers’ rights,” connected to traditional gender-based responsibilities and family life. They helped lay the foundation for new paradigms of women’s political participation and quest for citizenship rights when male breadwinners were absent or silenced by the military: they linked “mothers’ rights” to women’s rights and to women’s individual claims to civil liberties.
Our First Amendment protects our right to free exercise of religion, our freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, and limit the right to peaceably assemble, etc.I'd say it's the one of the main attractions of America and our free and democratic society.
Due-process- Due process is the principle that the government must respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person according to the law. Due process holds the government subservient to the law of the land, protecting individual persons from the state.
