Cotidiano Mujer
Uruguayan feminist organization
Cotidiano Mujer (Everyday Woman) is a Uruguayan feminist collective based in Montevideo. The group's mission is to contribute to promotion of social, cultural, and political change that works towards gender equity and democracy among women in Uruguay and Latin America. It has published a newspaper, as well as books and conference proceedings. The group has also presented a radio show and podcast.
History
Established in 1985, Cotidiano Mujer started out as a feminist magazine of the same name.
In 1988 Cotidiano Mujer published a book Yo aborto, tú abortas, todas callamos (I have an abortion, you have an abortion, we all keep silent). In 1994 they launched a radio show, Nunca en Domingo (Never on Sunday). Initially produced and presented by all members of the collective, but as time went on Elena Fonseca took the lead. Airing on 970 AM Universal, the show attracted between 2,000 and 7,000 listeners in 2012–2015, about half the number of listeners for Uruguay's most popular AM radio station. In 2015 the radio show was reshaped as a podcast.

Why this record matters
The phrase “uruguayan feminist organization” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 6, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q38531500. VIAF identifies the subject as 124465981. The Library of Congress control number is n90662267. None of the 4 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1985, 1988, 1994 and 2012.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
