Resumen

The summer of 2018 was the beginning of a feminist movement which has managed to bring about social and political changes in Chile. It has not been however, without a considerable struggle, since these protests were highly manipulated by the media, where voices and pleas were being silenced, information was being scantily provided and miss represented. This showed a feminist protest devoid of its core, which appeared as a confrontation rather than a demand for the recognition of human rights. This article presents the findings of a field research, where a different side of these feminist protests is shown.
