A 50 años del Golpe Militar, las políticas de la Memoria para las mujeres víctimas de la dictadura en Chile 50 years after the military coup, the politics of memory for women victims of the dictatorship in Chile

Abstract

On November 8, 1974, journalist Diana Aron was arrested by agents of the Chilean dictatorship. Transferred to a clandestine detention center, she was interrogated, tortured and her family never heard from her again. The case of the journalist is one of the cases of women who disappeared or were politically executed, former political prisoners of the dictatorship who have been part of the Transitional Justice policies. Memory policies in Chile have been carried out since the beginning of democracy, within the framework of Transitional Justice mechanisms. But these policies have been given from the demands of human rights groups, it has not been a policy from the State. This work will recognize which have been the policies of memory that have been carried out for women victims of the dictatorship in Chile, but at the same time make known what are the current debts with these policies of memory. 48 years after the arrest and disappearance of Diana Aron, her family and friends unveiled a plaque that remembers her testimony as a journalist and left-wing activist. 50 years after the military coup in Chile, the policies of memory for women continue to be a debt to them and their families.
