Abstract

This paper discusses the relationship of affection and commitment in political movements that fought for human rights during the civil-military dictatorships in Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay, focusing on three women who occupied an important place in resistance to dictatorship. They are: Therezinha Godoy Zerbini, leader of the Feminine Movement for Amnesty, Brazil; Carmen Miranda Casco de Lara Castro founder of the Committee for the Defense of Human Rights in Paraguay; and Loyola Guzmán Lara, organizer of the Association of Detainees, Disappeared and Martyrs arrested and missing in Bolivia. The aim of this work is to propose a comparative analysis of the political action of these three women in three different countries, to understand how they acted at a period in which many people was paralyzed by dictatorships.
