A Chilean protest song about rape culture and victim shaming has become an anthem for feminists around the world.
Un Violador en Tu Camino (A Rapist in Your Path) was first performed in late November as Chiles nationwide uprising against social inequality entered its second month.

It begins with a group of women, usually blindfolded, and an electronic beat. There is a side-to-side shuffle, chanting and squats. And there is the unforgettable chorus, done to a finger-snapping dance: Y la culpa no era mía / ni dónde estaba / ni cómo vestía. (And the fault was not mine / nor where I was / nor how I was dressed.)
The action ends with the group pointing straight ahead and repeating the refrain: El violador eres tú. (The rapist is you.)
This stirring performance, titled Un violador en tu camino (A Rapist in Your Path), was first brought to life by the feminist art collective called Lastesis at a protest in the port city of Valparaíso, Chile, late last month, as a way of drawing attention to violence against women. Since then, this viral action has materialized in Colombia, Mexico, France, India, the U.S. and Turkey (where an attempt to stage it on Sunday was broken up by police).
Naturally, video of the catchy dance and song is all over the internet tweeted by none other than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
