Argentina has a long history of worker-run cooperatives and workplaces.

In 2001, the country experienced one of the worst economic crises in its history.

As a response to the recession and a form of resistance and resilience, workers across the country started occupying their workplaces.

The Nadia Echazú Textile Cooperative was the first cooperative created by and for trans and travesti people in search of economic autonomy and decent living conditions.

It provides work opportunities, access to social security, sustainable income and economic rights for the communities it serves.

Her trilogy La saga de los confines received several awards and is unique in the fantasy genre for its use and re-imagining of South American Indigenous mythology.

Liliana’s commitment to feminism was expressed in the diverse, rich and strong women voices in her writing, and particularly in her extensive work for young readers. She also took public positions in favour of abortion, economic justice and gender parity.
