The last decade was marked by cycles of social movements around the world, where resisting and fighting against neoliberal capitalism and a patriarchal system have been at the centre of political action. In Chile, the "Feminist May" student movement in 2018 was a turning point and showed the strong and entangled relationship between…

This article explores the impact of sexual harassment on one teacher--the paper's author and, in doing so, opens up conversations about the micro-realities of gendered harassment in educational institutions.
