To name is to summon into being. To rename is to assert dominion.

From the river deltas of Nigeria to the forests of Abya Yala, from the Indian plains to the favelas of Brazil, the women of the South have long been rewriting what freedom means. Not freedom as something given, but as something reclaimed — from the bones of empires, the margins of history, and the silenced tongues of our mothers.

Massacres como a megaoperação policial que atingiu o Complexo do Alemão e da Penha no final de outubro de 2025, deixando um rastro de mais de 130 mortes (o maior da história do Rio), e cuja luta por responsabilização dominou a última semana, expõem a face mais brutal do racismo estrutural.
