Thousands of women took to the streets across Mexico to participate in International Women’s Day marches and demonstrations on Tuesday.
Protests at which women called for an end to gender-based violence were held in more than 20 states, the newspaper Milenio reported.
Mexico’s largest cities – Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Tijuana, León and Puebla – all saw marches, as did numerous smaller cities including Puerto Vallarta, Morelia, San Luis Potosí, Saltillo, Cancún, Mérida, Oaxaca, Guanajuato, Los Cabos, Veracruz, Zacatecas, Hermosillo, Tlaxcala and Chilpancingo.
Anti-violence slogans such as “Ni una más” (not one more femicide victim) and “Si soy la próxima, quiero ser la última” (If I’m the next I want to be the last) reverberated across the nation, where thousands of women are murdered, abducted, raped and sexually assaulted every year.
More than 10,000 women took to the streets in Guadalajara, including family members of victims of kidnapping and femicide. Vandalism was reported at the University of Guadalajara.
In Monterrey, members of radical feminist groups broke into the Nuevo León government palace at the conclusion of a march, vandalizing its interior and setting fire to windows and doors.
