Feminist Reflections #4 JUNE 2021 DEFEATING THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER: A FEMINIST REFLECTION ON GENDER Teresa Cunha T he concept of Gender was originally created by feminist movements in order to assist the struggles for emancipation and equality between women and men. Nevertheless, in the last two decades, we have witnessed an exacerbation in the co-option and appropriation of the word and the concept for other purposes that have nothing to do with social transformation that generations of feminists have been fighting for all over the world. Rethinking Gender means thinking critically, that is, asking questions about our reality in order to go beyond our background and also what is obvious. The main objective of this reflection has two main dimensions. On the one hand, it aims to denaturalize the discrimination, oppressions and privileges that exist based on different sexual identities and expectations built around them; on the other hand, to reactivate the potential of the concept of gender for the political and emancipatory transformation of our world. Therefore, we start from the assertion that there is no Social Justice without Gender Justice to highlight the constitutive interdependence between Society, Justice and Gender, and express our commitment to a feminist vision of Mozambique and the world and the necessary and urgent transformations.
