Abstract
The Ni Una Menos (Not One Less) Movement
emerged as a direct response to the alarming increase of femicide
in Argentina. This paper analyses how the Ni Una Menos
movement mobilises various resources for gender equality. It
investigates the role of the Ni Una Menos Movement and utilises
Social Movement Theory to understand the movement’s
dynamics within Argentina, South America and beyond.
Specifically, Resource Mobilization Theory (RMT) is employed
as a framework for analysis. Using New Social Movement
Theory (NSMT) as a guide, the research will show how social
resources were used to advance the movement’s goal.
Additionally, the stages of social movements serve as a guide to
examining the formation, impact, barriers, and facilitators
encountered by the Ni Una Menos movement. By applying these
theories, this study aims to shed light on the strategies and tactics
employed by the movement, its influence on societal change, and
the challenges and opportunities it faces in pursuing gender
equality. Through this analysis, the research aims to provide a
deeper understanding of how a powerful movement was formed
and its implications for gender equality.
