[Music]
exactly one week ago I was with
my team of the rebellion of the body a
social collective that we have in Chile and
is already in 6 countries of the world too
we were marching on the day of
commemoration of nonviolence against
the woman in the middle of the march was
approached a girl of around 16 years
and you tell me you are from the region of
body and I tell him yes it’s me and he tells me
I have something to tell you, tell me not to
you imagine the number of years that I have
suffering for how I feel about
myself the amount of years because I’ve
suffered and I have felt victim of all
the demands that have put me
regarding my body the amount of
hospitalizations that I had for a
anorexia that has had me trapped by
many years but the day that I saw in his
page and on your social networks a
story of another woman who had lived
exactly the same as me for the first
once I felt accompanied for the first time
I stopped feeling alone in my suffering
was questioned exciting every time
it happens to me it excites me a lot it makes sense
to my tiredness it gives meaning to the exhaustion
gives meaning to the thousands of times it has
said I do not want so much responsibility not
I can more with all this is very big and
keeps growing and I do not know how to do it is
interesting realize that you have
much sense and that every time one goes
walking and a mom tells you you’re the
of the body meeting and hugs you and
thanks you for everything you’ve done
done by your daughter when you have no idea
who is your daughter or a man who
about and he tells you for the first time
I understand what women suffer never
they had explained it to me as you
show every day or teachers and
teachers who also tell us thank you
for giving it the weight that our
work in the construction of identity of
girls and boys and it’s interesting
think that in this way in a year and
we have managed to enter the
collective unconscious of many women
not only of chili but of all the others
countries in which we are and also of
all the followers that many times
they tell us about different parts of the
world
it is also interesting to realize that
the purpose of this we have received
many invitations from different
public and private bodies so that
let’s talk about not only how we have
managed to mobilize so many women or
how we have managed to wake up and open
the eyes to a society but also
how have we gone from the private to the
public as something that we have achieved in
to some extent get the voice to such a point
that many parties are
calling to tell to see tell us what
is this symbolic violence what is
this of the impact that the media have
of communication, advertising and
social networks is the security of
our girls explain what is
try and see how it also
we can start legislating on this in
this moment and purpose of these
same invitations a couple of
weeks ago we received an invitation
organized for a discussion
organized by different parties
politicians the interesting thing was that the
explicit and concrete invitation was that
we were going to tell the strategy and the
methodology that we had used all this
year and a half to grow this
collective mainly so that
we were going to explain how
we have mobilized as many women as
we had awakened them to not feel a
rejection when we talk about this topic
but feel part of iu at a time
also how we had achieved as
we manage to make news on a daily basis
every sexist advertising complaint that
appears at least in our country and
of this from this logic at the same time
also one of the things that most
they asked us to make them understand was
how we had managed to install a
democratic space among women where
for the first time they could say
publicly I do not agree not
I want this to continue happening I vote for
that this campaign ceases to exist and so
with the voice of all the women who
have felt part of this we have achieved
download more than five giant campaigns to
Chile level and others at the level of
Latin America too
the issue was that at the time when
we sit down as a team to think about
how we had achieved this in what was
that methodology or that strategy for the
they were asking us we told ourselves
mind that we had no idea
we were super clear that we had
achieved what we achieved and what we are
achieving but we did not know how not
there was a methodology had been very
of huata as they say chile very
organic we did not know what our
strategy then I had to appeal to what
that always appealed when I need to think
deeply that is a vodka
tells me on my website what tonic I went to
sitting on the terrace I learned the
little lights that give me as inspiration and
divine light I put music I grab my
notebook and scored absolutely everything
while I take the bust everything that happens
through my head when I need to find
reasons situations and explanations and what
that usually the next day when I read
my notes I see the light there is always something
that serves me then I sat on the
terrace and I started to go around
that was the first thing that happened what was it
what happened that started generating everything
this happened what happened
from one moment to another we had more than a thousand
followers a day we had more than 100
daily comments in each all that
we had every day we received
testimonies of different women all
the days sent us the stories and their
experience regarding your body to your
insecurities to your pains to your
suffering their abuses to their
aggressions and everything that they lived
every day are women
we did not know what had happened without
However, one of the things that most
interested was to understand that at the time
where they tag us go in their
publications at the moment
they were uploading a photo of the body that all the
had hidden because all the
had convinced them that they had
have to hide something past the
label us and realize that no
they were the only ones who stopped feeling
alone for the first time their pain and more
Beyond feeling alone
they felt proud of their pain they started
to validate it and they started to realize
of that pain and it’s the suffering that
for years they have told us that we have to
hide that for years they have taught us
privatize if we make it public
we help many for the first time
they began to feel strong about
their vulnerability to their
insecurities and the call they made
each time they were not labeled and each
once they uploaded their photo in order to
be impacting other women was
sister mate or friend I feel what
same as you feel
we are alone, we are many who
we feel what you are feeling come
give me your hand and let’s fight together
so that no girl will ever have to
live what we are living
superb pure priority that to me every
Once I think about it I say it is far the most
beautiful that can happen between women the
moment in which we managed to understand that
we are partners and not competition is
when all the social changes
they start to happen and that was true
way we started to realize
of this and the vodka did what I had to
make synapses
[Music]
thinking this I said ah I know what happened
this is precisely the beginning of the
rebellion this is the strategy and the
methodology by which they asked me and
today I realized that the first time
that I spoke publicly about the rebellion
of the body was the first time in my life
that I was talking about my eight years of
bulimia
and it was very strong to understand that what
for me it was my personal rebellion that was
make public something that my whole life
had made her feel embarrassed something that
they had not yet said that he had to
be hidden by making it public I
I left to my rebellion and without realizing
my testimony began to open the door
for the testimonies of many others
women and that was beautiful and there
and there I began to understand that always
I was ashamed of what happened to me
I hid because I felt shame because
I had been educated to feel ashamed
because it is precisely the way in
who educate us educate us to
privatize pain educate us to
privatize suffering educate us
to feel insecure about us
and so everything works
perfect because if I take away the power
a woman since she was born I make sure
understand it absolutely everything
exist so that she feels that she is going to
recover again you’re already far away the
best marketing strategy and
advertising the story while more
far be the stereotype that I
show a woman while more
unattainable is the ideal female figure
that I am showing you more I make sure of
sell everything that exists so that
she believes that she will achieve it
and until we realize that
we are like classes of this this is not going to
change this is the basis and the essence of
gender violence and we have to
be complete and absolutely
aware of this and we have to leave
to be accomplices of this is a
social responsibility that we do it from
certain way this myth so to speak
of quiet you look prettier starts to
work we do not realize and it’s already
installed and we shut up and started to
hide we start hiding hide
our opinions we hide our
body we hide our pleasure
we hide our desire convince us
that we have to be desirable instead
to convince us that our right
is to wish we are convinced to hide the
joys convince us to hide the
dissidents to hide the insecurity
of hiding the suffering but the
important question here is that we are
allowing to hide what happens to us
what is not named does not exist and if it is
that we can not tell you that we did not start
to name what happens to us this
it’s going to keep happening
and it’s interesting to realize that when
one carries these figures that at least
something that our collective has done
a lot because we have some beautiful
academic sociologists doctors in
very studious research in these
topics that would like to have numbers and
we conclude that so
less in Chile girls at 15 years
they stop getting up from the towel and
walk in swimsuit because they
much more what the rest of the
world thinks of her and this is when
we started to question this too
it’s not a body issue let’s take it out
only of something physical that a girl
At 15, stop feeling free
because the opinion of another is more
important that your own freedom this
it’s a political issue and this has to be
start to see it like this and make it visible in
chile girls between 14 and 25 years old pass
three hours a day thinking about how
improve your body
these are 45 days a year
they realize what this is a month and
half a year lost for thinking
on how I can meet a pattern that
every day they are in charge of imposing me
they imagine all the time and all the
changes that could exist if we educate
to our girls with a perspective
criticism to stop believing that that’s
what they have to aspire that their
value proposition is much larger
that just how they look
Chile 86 percent of women
he has stopped doing something he likes
because you do not feel safe how you
go with your body
and within these things that we are
Failing to do is raise your hand
to be heard and give our
opinion this is serious we can not talk
neither of glass texts nor of gap
salary or anything and this is where
part of the problem if a girl does not
dare to give your opinion all that
it’s going to be uneven and little
equitable and how it will be like that if
what we see since we are children is this
It is that we are an adornment advertising
that constantly tells us that we are a
ornament or that we are edible or possible or
that in a certain way we are there for the
another’s desire for the other to do what
that we even our
consent gives the same this is the
message that they receive every day this
is the message with which many here
we have grown since we have use of
reason and how are we not going to feel
unsure of ourselves if the
media and advertising
actually builds and they are one of the
most important links in the
construction of children’s identity and
girls especially today that are
connected and connected every day
So here is the important question
It must be done that I started doing
what happens when we open our eyes what
happens when we realize that we
we have to put on the violet glasses
that if we do not put these glasses
violet we will not understand what is
happening if we do not start looking at the world
from feminism this
to change our girls are not going to have
the same opportunities if not
we realize that society
it has to be fair from childhood
when we put on the violet glasses
we realize that we are not the
only ones that are living what they are
living when we put on our glasses
violet we realize that our
suffering does not make us victims
makes teachers and that is a
social responsibility that as women
let’s start to feel proud of that
and we start to tell the girls hey
stand up has happened to us
take the hand we are many flats
we have to change the world that
important of this too and what is it
that I would like to transmit
the invitation today is mainly
that from here all and all go out with the
violet glasses put that we begin to
see the world from there that we understand
that insecurity sells and that we have
to mow leave to remain
accomplices of that industry the
industry beauty industry
of the fashion industry of the diets
of the mental health industry of
the whole industry that convinces us that
we have to be different
in order to be happy that is not a
reality because at least me and many
of which we work together in the
rebellion of the body we are convinced
that we do not want more quiet girls
we do not want more girls with fear not
we want more perfect girls
we want free girls and we want girls
brave and we have to stop educating
to girls to be perfect we have
to teach girls that there is
the courage and most important of all
we have to teach our girls
that there is sorority and that the
Man next door is going to shake your hand
when you need it because it ‘s being
educated in the same way
and most important of all and half
also the message that I would most like
that you lived will be taken to your home is that
we have to give space to the
self-esteem and personal safety as
political capital as a power from which
you appropriated us a long time ago
since we are born but if we
we take the hand together we can
have back and it is up to us
have it because in a society that profits
with our insecurity, like us is the
best protest of all
