demanding (of rights)

Usage Note

Reivindicativo describes an action, speech, or movement that asserts or demands rights: una marcha reivindicativa is a rights-demanding march. It derives from reivindicar (to claim, to demand) and is strongly associated with labour, feminist, and social-justice discourse in Spanish. It has no clean single-word English equivalent — 'assertive' or 'advocacy-driven' come close.

Examples

"La manifestación tuvo un carácter claramente reivindicativo."

Natural Translation

The demonstration had a clearly protest-oriented character.
