kropotkindersurprise: June 3 2020 - Black Lives Matter protesters carried a guillotine to the governor’s mansion in San Juan, Puerto Rico. People were also protesting because the government hastily passed the código civil. From @ajisaihora: The Código Civil (Civil Code) has loopholes regarding women’s and LGBT+ rights. This code was passed despite activists’ call for a veto, and was intentionally speedily passed so that public hearings would not take place.In a nutshell, women’s bodily autonomy has the potential to be restricted which can take away their right to abortions, and the discrimination bans against the LGBT+ community are able to be overridden. 5 trans people have died violently in Puerto Rico since the beginning of 2020. -- source link
