As written about in another article on this website, it is sometimes asked if SJWs exist in Colombia
While SJWs do exist in Colombia, their presence is not that strong and only occasionally do you ever see them
Here’s a quick story that illustrates that
While walking through the streets in Bogota in 2012, it seemed like an average cloudy day for Colombia’s capital
It was one of my many visits to this city as I had been traveling around Colombia during this time from city to city
And while here, I had a date with a Colombian chick named Alma
However, I ended up being a little bit late since one of the streets that I was going to cross happened to be very busy that day
In front of me were a bunch of women marching down the street together with a bunch of signs and slogans
One of the signs had the following written on it – “La Marcha de las Putas”
Which technically could be translated as “the March of the Bitches”
Otherwise known more formally as “Slutwalk” in the US and elsewhere
In Bogota specifically, it had been reported on afterwards that this event took up 2,000 women for this specific march
While other Colombian cities also had similar “slutwalk” marches at the same time, including Medellin, Pereira, Manizales, San Andres, Villavicencio and Tunja
For me personally, it was one of the first time that I saw this type of protest in Colombia
I always assumed it was mostly popular within countries like the US or Canada
And so initially I found it a little difficult to cross the street that I was hoping to cross given all the people marching on it
While standing here by the side of the street, you also had some people cheering on the people marching from what I remember
On the other hand, there were also people here making more negative remarks about the marchers and the purpose behind their event this day
In fact, I remember seeing more negative reactions to the event than positive – at least where I was specifically that day
In one case, there was an older skinny guy wearing a white hat, blue jeans and a buttoned white shirt who gave his 2 cents about the march
From what I remember, he started yelling for a few minutes at the marchers mostly insulting them but not much else
Then there were some people I overheard who got upset at the fact that they are blocking the street we are on and had to keep going to get to work
Since most Colombian girls tend to show up late for dates anyway, I wasn’t in too much of a hurry to get to my date with Alma
Since I already knew that was going to be late from a text message that she sent me saying that traffic is bad and will be a little bit late
So in essence, I wasn’t in too much of a hurry
And in fact, I was a bit curious to watch this event unfold in Bogota
After all, I’m always interested in watching protests and marches when they happen down here in Colombia
Given that I live here, I enjoy seeing what the local politics is like and what people are protesting about
Other times you get protesters saying that Colombia needs education reform
Then there are protesters here and there that advocate for left wing ideas such as socialism as you have some socialist movements in Colombia as well
There are also people who protest for workers rights or issues regarding having unions
On the other hand, you also have more right wing protesters as well
For example, I sometimes see the occasional religious protester who is yelling about how everyone is going to hell
Then you got folks who yell against gay people or abortion
On top of it all, there are also people who have public events regarding aspects of the violence that Colombia has experienced over the many past decades
So all around you got people protesting regarding just about anything you can imagine
Which brings us back to a central question that sometimes people have before making a visit to Colombia….
Do SJWS exist in Colombia?
SJW meaning “Social Justice Warrior” which is most commonly used as a negative term for basically anyone who promotes more progressive viewpoints
However, not everyone uses it to describe those with progressive viewpoints
Instead, some people I know mostly use it for those who tend to be more leftwing but also get angry or insulted quite easily and are sometimes considered more extreme in their view points
So….do they exist down here?
Yes
However, incidents like the protest I saw above are not really all that common in my opinion
Here’s the thing – they do exist but they tend to mostly exist in the bigger cities like Bogota and Medellin
And even in Bogota, most people living in this city are not like the stereotypical SJW that you tend to think of when living in the US or Canada
Most people here tend to have more normal points of view on matters and tend to not get as easily offended or insulted
Even when it came to the “slutwalk” protest that I saw, most people at this march seemed pretty normal in terms of their behavior
There were of course some protesters here and there that I saw who were more extreme in their viewpoints and vocal about it as well during this event
But even among more left wing people within Colombia, most I would not consider to be “SJWs” since I tend to lean to the latter term – having extreme views and being easily offended
And so I guess it depends on which definition you use
If you mean just people with more progressive views in general, then sure SJWs exist to a decent degree like in any country
But when it comes to the latter on being extreme and easily offended, then no
That, as said before, SJWs exist in Colombia but in mostly the bigger and most urban cities
Where the environment is relatively more liberal anyway
But even in a city like Bogota, they just don’t exist to a high enough degree to make you worry about running into people like that
It rarely happens and shouldn’t be something to consider in my opinion before you ever take a trip to Colombia
And when you do take your trip to Colombia, make sure to book your flight ahead of time with Avianca Airlines and to have a travel guide to Colombia to help you prepare for your trip
Hope that helps!
