Feminist movements—especially autonomous, Global South–led networks—have long linked debt and austerity to systemic oppression. They argue these financial tools disproportionately burden women by stripping public services, shifting care responsibilities onto them, and deepening precariousness. In response, grassroots feminist groups have mobilized through debt audits, collective sit-ins, media outreach, and international solidarity actions. For example, in Argentina, feminist networks like the Campaña Deuda x Dictadura and Ni Una Menos have connected anti-austerity struggles with feminist demands, denouncing how illegitimate debt fuels gender-based violence and undermines public care infrastructure.
