Journalist Analú Bailosa was still studying journalism when she realised no online media platform was dedicated exclusively to feminism in Portugal.
"I was a fan of some feminist websites, particularly in Latin America, like Azmina magazine in Brazil, and Volcanicas, across Latin America. I couldn't understand why there wasn't a similar outlet in Portugal," Bailosa says.
She and 17 other women, including recent graduates and undergraduates, teamed up to write about everything they felt was missing from the feminist conversation in mainstream media.
According to Bailosa, Aborda is not exclusively about women but also "all the minorities affected by the patriarchy". That explains the name, Aborda, a word game between the Portuguese verb describing the act of addressing or approaching and a word meaning that something is marginalised.
During its first year, Aborda reached 1,394 unique users and received a journalism grant from the Portuguese Network for Young People and Equal Opportunities Between Men and Women (REDE).
