Quito, Pichincha
“In 1985, it was impossible for a low-income woman in Ecuador get a divorce. At that time, there was no legal access to child support or acknowledgment of paternity. We organized ourselves with a group of women to create the “Alternative Judicial Departments”. Sometimes women would ask us to let them spend the night on newspapers in our office because they feared being killed.”.
