The Latin-American and Caribbean Feminist Movement after the fith international meeting. El Salvador, nov. 93. Since 1981, the Latin-American and Caribbean feminist movement has organized every three years in different countries, international meetings to evaluate and share analysis as well as to consider new perspectives. The meetings play an important role in the building of a wider and more complex movement. Fragmented and heterogeneous, as the society from which it emerges, Latin-American feminism tries to integrate its own diversity. However, ther is still a lot to do for the "others" (that is to say women from the popular sectors, indian women, black momen, lesbian, young women) to be part of the collective "us" which in fact is the "we" of the middle class, educated and healthy women who tend to be hegemonic in the movement The movement has to cope with two more difficulties : the development of efficient and different strategies in political struggles and the problems generated by its own institutionalization as far individual power and new submissions to northern structures are concerned.
