Arpilleras

Arpilleras are acts of revolution and rebellion because they were created as means of protest. All of the arpilleras were created with lots of symbolism weaved inside them to stand out to the government. They were created to speak out against the government without having to use physical voice. It also kept the women under the radar so that they weren't also taken away and become disappeared, too. I feel like this counts as voice because it is a different way of protesting and speaking out, to spread the word about what is happening. It counts as voice because they were speaking out, but in a different way. It raised lots of awareness. It was a safe way to speak out and passive resistance.
