The diverse identities within Latin American communities in Canada stem from a colonial history that erased their complexities and reinforced racial and gender inequalities—practices that persist today. This report offers a glimpse into the historical forces shaping Latina women’s experiences, encouraging reflection on how neoliberal policies both homogenize and divide communities, ultimately maintaining systems of control and inequality.
This work builds on the tireless efforts of researchers, activists, and community leaders who have long been advocating for justice and equity. Their contributions remain central to understanding and addressing the challenges faced by Latina women.
