The pro-bicycle movement in Latin America is more than twenty years old. The World Bicycle Forum (WBF) was created in 2012 by activists of this region. Until 2017, most of the leaders of this movement were males (70%). However, the total attendance of females to the WBF was more than 50%. This puts in evidence a territorizalization, where a hegemonic male leadership predominates. Between years 2018 and 2019, due to a series of strategies conducted by female activists, women’s leadership was strengthened. Though gender-parity was not reached, a change in the last two editions of the WBF was significant. It is precisely in this change process that this research is focused. Through quantitative analysis and ethnographic techniques, I analyze two dimensions of the process: the strategies and the discourses produced by activists in the last two editions of the WBF (Lima 2018 and Quito 2019). I consider that both dimensions were used in order to place a feminist agenda in the WBF. The central argument of this dissertation is that, in this process, the activists proposed new conceptions of the notion of the right to the city (Lefebvre), by questioning it and resignifying it. Many of their contributions converge with proposals made by various feminist and urban geographers (Tovi Fenster, Ana Falú, Shelly Buckingham, among others). This process could represent a significant change within the pro-bicycle movement and, therefore, a transformation in some spaces promoted by activists in their cities.
