, opposes abortion and wants to hold a referendum on whether the 2020 legalization of abortion before the 14th week of pregnancy should be repealed. He also wants to shut the ministry of women, gender and diversity, which he has called a type of "affirmative action" that is degrading towards women.
"The Milei phenomenon is not just an ultra-right movement. It is a patriarchal reaction against all the advances women in Argentina have had," leftist presidential candidate Myriam Bregman, who polls "They ridicule the women who are part of the movement by, for example, demanding that women have public office by quota," said Rolon. "A woman should not be in power because she is a woman, she should be in public office because of her suitability and her capacity."
"Milei is another example of the patriarchy that wants to reverse our rights," said Nelly Borquez, a feminist activist at one protest. "But he is going to find us back out on the streets.", according to a poll by Taquion Research. Still, he has won over some female voters, and has high-profile women on his team, including his sister and campaign adviser Karina and running mate Victoria Villarruel.
"He doesn't believe in equality, social justice or that gender violence exists," said women's minister Ayelen Mazzina, adding that she had invited Milei to the ministry to learn about its work, but that he had declined. Repealing the abortion law is not on their agenda, because "Argentina already had that debate," she told Reuters.
