On 4 September 2022, Chile will vote on a new constitution. The draft text foresees significant changes for Chilean society, especially in the area of social rights, recognition of Chile’s indigenous peoples, and gender parity in politics. Karina Nohales, feminist, lawyer, and activist of the Coordinadora Feminista 8M (CF8M) explains how the new constitutional text strengthens women’s rights and how she and her fellow campaigners want to mobilize people to vote for it. Nohales is part of the team of Alondra Carrillo, who was elected to the Constituent Assembly as a representative of CF8M. In total, 155 elected members of civil society have been working together on the text of the new constitution since July 2021.
