Before LOLA, Women Did Not Have A Space Like This
“I found the Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA) in 2019 when I became a local coordinator at Students For Liberty. Since I have been in the Liberty Movement in Brazil, I realized that there were very few women and because of that, social and gender issues weren’t discussed. I just wasn’t satisfied with the lack of women in the liberty movement. When I first heard about LOLA, I knew it was the part of the liberty movement that had been missing and I instantly knew I wanted to be part of it…” Read the Dalila’s full story here.
