Montserrat Cervera Rodon (Barcelona, July 27, 1949) is a Catalan anti-militarist, feminist, and women's health activist, involved in various feminist actions and campaigns such as the right to abortion.
Montserrat Cervera Rodon has a degree in Contemporary history from the University of Barcelona, specializing in the oral history of women. Her professional life has always been linked to feminist non-governmental spaces and groups, especially the Centro de Análisis y Programas Sanitarios (Caps) (Center for Analysis and Health Programs)[2] where she worked for 25 years, since 1997, focusing on women's health from a feminist perspective.
"Nosotras sabemos que la violencia, el militarismo y el patriarcado no llevan a la seguridad ni a la libertad, sino a la destrucción y la muerte."
(We know that violence, militarism and patriarchy do not lead to security or freedom, but to destruction and death.)
-Montserrat Cervera Rodon (5 March 2022)[3]
She was a member of the Revolutionary Communist League (LCR) during the years of anti-Francoist struggle through the university movements and the student union. She was imprisoned in Madrid for almost three years following her arrest during the preparation of a demonstration, which is why she was unable to attend the 1976 Jornadas Catalanas de la Mujer [es] (Catalan Women's Conference), although she continued to make an impact. She was released in November 1976 and joined a women's committee; since then, she has continued to be linked to feminist movements and the struggle for women's liberation.[4]
In 1985, around May 24, Dia Internacional de las Mujeres por la Paz y el Desarme [es] (International Women's Day for Peace and Disarmament), with Dones Antimilitaristes (DOAN) and having the support of many feminist groups, Cervera organized a line of women and a protest camp against the army and against the construction of a military academy for women in Tortosa.[5] The mobilization had a great impact in experiential and political spheres, provoking a crisis in the municipal government and causing the PP to go into opposition.[6][7]
In 1987, with the DOAN group, Cervera attended the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, an important event for the antimilitarist movement.[8]
Cervera participates in women's health networks RedCAPS and Xarxa de Dones per la Salut in Catalonia.[6][3] She is on the advisory board of the magazine Mujeres y Salud (MyS).[9] She participates in the feminist space of Ca la Dona [es],[10] in the antimilitarist group "Dones per Dones",[11][12] in the Xarxa Feminista de Catalunya network,[13] and in Novembre Feminista.[14][15]
In June 1922, Cervera was a panelist at a Round Table of the Counter-Summit for Peace organized by the Platform for Peace Against Wars. NATO No Bases Outside.[16]
