Keywords:
feminist movement, women's asociation, domestic violenceAbstract
The article examines the contribution of the Feminist Movement of Colima (Movimiento Feminista de Colima, MFC) in the creation of the Women’s Support Center (Centro de Apoyo a la Mujer, CAM). The objective was investigated to what extent, how the Mfc influenced this policy and what factors facilitated the policy.The research uses social movement theory and a step-by-step methodology to reveal the mechanisms of influence of feminists.The main findings show that the MFC, indeed, played a role in the creation of the CAM. Among the facilitating factors, within the political context, the presence of a woman in the State Executive Branch was salient.
