Havana, February 19 (RHC) The international colloquium "30 years of Women Studies, Feminisms and Women's movements in Latin America and the Caribbean" will begin today and will run until February 23, at the headquarters of Casa de las Americas in Havana.

Organized by the Women's Studies Program of that Cuban cultural institution, the event aims at promoting the study of the history of the continent, from the perspective of female participation in each struggle.

Feminine posture in different spaces, violence, literature, masculinities and activism, are themes that will be present in the 16 sessions that make up the program, which will be attended by representatives of universities and study centers from different countries in the region.
