Prolific novelist Piñeiro is an advocate for women's rights and, specifically, the legalization of abortion in Argentina. She has faced serious harassment for her activism, including threats from anti-abortion activists seeking to intimidate and prevent her from speaking. In November 2020, she received a violent threat via Twitter, and in 2019, she was the victim of an attempted assault in Buenos Aires, possibly linked to her advocacy. Despite this, she continues to write and promote women's rights.
