Different scarf colours were used for different national campaigns before largely accepting green

‘#SeráLey’ (It will be law)

Briefly, in 2018, countries came up with their own colours of pañuelo for nationally-specific campaigns, such as lilac in Ecuador, white in Mexico, and beige in Peru. However, it quickly became clear that the green pañuelo was the symbol that feminists were going to use across all of Latin America. Most countries have had success in campaigning for legal abortion but it is still ilegal in Peru (in 2023) except in the threat to life or health of woman.
