Marta Dillon is an Argentinian queer feminist journalist and activist. As a child, Marta’s mother was involved in political activism against the Argentinian dictatorship starting in the 1970’s. Her disappearance at the hands of the state instilled in Marta a militancy for the struggle for human rights and against the impunity of crimes against humanity. Marta has worked across sectors of feminism such as queer and transfeminism, worker’s rights and unions, abortion rights, and decolonialism.
She was awarded the Jose Marti award, the Women's Union of Argentina Award and the Lola Mora lifetime achievement award. Marta was also named Ambassador of Reproductive Rights by the Instituto Social y Político de las Mujeres in 2005. Her work within many facets of feminism for decades has led to an international movement, increased awareness of violence against women and queer people, and facilitated wider social change.
