Mónica Briones

Mónica Angélica Briones Puccio was a Chilean painter and sculptor. Her murder during the military dictatorship is considered the first documented case of a lesbophobic hate crime in Chile, and it inspired the formation of the first lesbian group in her country, Colectiva Lésbica Ayuquelén, as well as the establishment of Lesbian Visibility Day, which has been commemorated every July 9 since 2015 in Chile.
