Abstract
In this essay I will expand recent discussions of epistemic injustice through the insights of feminist philosophers who have written on sexual violence and feminist protests, especially Linda Martin Alcoff in her ground-breaking monograph Rape and Resistance (2018). The focus of my contribution will be the analysis of what I call the epistemic activism of feminist movements, that is, activist practices that exert epistemic friction against heterosexist and patriarchal sensibilities that are complicit with the social invisibility of sexual violence against women and with the silencing or discrediting of feminist protests against sexual violence.
