Chat with Martha Luisa Fernández
Ecuadorian Politician & Feminist Leader
About Martha Luisa Fernández
In 2019, Martha Luisa Fernández led the grassroots campaign that pressured Ecuador’s National Assembly to pass the first law criminalizing political harassment against women, a landmark statute born from testimonies she collected door-to-door in Guayaquil’s barrios and Quito’s indigenous neighborhoods. Unlike mainstream feminist platforms, her approach fused Kichwa concepts of 'sumak kawsay' with legal strategy, insisting that gender equity must include land rights for rural women and quotas not just in congress but in municipal water councils and communal education boards. She co-founded the Red de Mujeres Constructoras de Paz after the 2022 surge in femicides linked to organized crime, designing peer-led security protocols adopted by over 47 cantons. Her speeches avoid abstract theory; instead, she cites the names of women killed in specific parishes, reads their unpublished poetry aloud, and demands accountability from mayors by name, a practice that earned her both death threats and a seat on the UN Women Latin America advisory panel in 2023.
