QG Feminista is a project that exists since August 2017 with the aim to write pieces, translate texts and publish feminist content. It started with an online publication in the blogging platform medium.com, publishing feminist content in the social media, making their online presence and creating an audience in all the main social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.

With the success of the project and the arrival of more collaborators it was possible to expand actions and QG Feminista started to produce a printed version, published every two months, with written contributions under a chosen topic among their pieces. This project received great positive feedback, and has been cited and used as base for school or university projects, including being chosen to feature in an exhibition called “Histórias Feministas” (Feminist Stories) at the museum MASP-SP, becoming curated for the museum archives. The group also begun to produce videos and putting subtitles in Portuguese on videos in other languages, to make an online presence on YouTube, as well as creating a Spinster account in English to engage with feminists from all over the world. In 2019, QG Feminista launched their website,  www.qgfeminista.org, and also their QGCast, with great results in terms of reach and audience.

The pieces already published in their online platform have had great acceptance and reach, being cited in academic papers in Brazil and abroad, and the collective is often reached by news outlets as a source about feminist issues. It is considered a reference on the subject.

The project is completely carried out by volunteers, from all over Brazil, who collaborate online and in a coordinated way. Nowadays the project has more than 40 collaborators who write, translate, produce videos or provide Portuguese subtitles for them, create content for several social media platforms and podcasts. The collaborators also are stimulated to engage in new projects, like create local collectives, publishing outlets, campaigns and webpages to talk about race (black feminism), the sex industry, lesbianism, motherhood, children’s rights and working-class women.

With the growth of their reach and activities, in 2020, there was a need for QG Feminista to organize as a collective, with well defined goals. In their Principles Letter, the collective QG Feminista present themselves as a “Brazilian Women’s collective who ‘commit· the unforgivable transgression of declaring themselves feminists and radicals. They come from all over the country and abroad; from several backgrounds, ages, races, social classes, professional qualifications and sexual orientations” and propose the creating/production, provision and dissemination of feminist material and ideas, to aide both in the formation and organization of collective groups and of individual and subjective processes of political consciousness raising about women’s emancipation.

The collective aims for the critique of masculinist violence by the patriarchal institutions and of the falsely progressive narrative (which are visibly misogynistic popularized by the woke left); the dissemination and strengthening of the feminist theory, as well the feminist authors and the work of radical feminists in Brazil; The training and qualification of activists, teachers and researchers.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the collective has been creating and supporting several campaigns to aide women. During the month of May, QG Feminista is hosting a series of lives on Instagram talking about several issues that are relevant to the Women’s Liberation movement.
