Reduxx Event: Feminists vs the Law

Isabela Cêpa is a feminist influencer well-known in Brazil for her advocacy on the issues of sexual and domestic violence. In June, Cêpa learned through news articles that she is being threatened with up to 25 years in prison after being charged with 5 counts of a hate-based crime for calling a trans-identified male politician a “man.” She still has no formal copy of the charges being levied against her.

Christina Ellingsen is a Norwegian feminist and the head of Women’s Declaration International’s Norway branch. In May, Ellingsen learned she was being criminally investigated for tweets and comments she had made directed at a representative of trans activist group Foreningen FRI. Ellingsen’s charges are largely centered around her questioning why FRI promoted the incorrect belief that men could be lesbians. While police are still investigating, Ellingsen could face a prison sentence of up to 3 years if she is charged and found guilty.
