Dozens of organizations and activists from nine states, almost simultaneously, marched to demand the eradication of violence against women, justice in cases of feminicide ( murder of women , specifically) and the fight against discrimination.

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, in Mexico City, hundreds of women marched from the Monument to the Mothers to the Hemicycle to Juarez to demand equality and an end to gender violence. This day is NOV 25 Internationally.

The contingents, wearing a purple theme color, marched chanting and with banners with slogans: ” All People Men and Women do not be indifferent, women are raped in the face of the people” and ” Si Se Puedes !” ie, “Yes you can ! or yes we can !, if women advances no man backs down “.

In addition, activists for the rights of women and relatives of victims of feminicide symbolically closed the offices of the PGR, in protest of their “negligence, omission and obstacles to guarantee access to justice.”

The event, convened by the National Citizen Observatory of Feminicide, gathered dozens of women who denounced that they live in “the worst scenario of violence against women.”

According to figures from the observatory, between 2012 and 2017 there were 12,796 murders of women, of which only 22 percent of the cases started investigations as femicide.

In Ecatepec, State of Mexico, the inhabitants concentrated on the Casa de Morelos to march to the municipal palace and demand that the government prevent disappearances and feminicides.

In Guerrero, for not providing results in the investigation of crimes against women, organizations against violence symbolically closed the facilities of the Office of the Prosecutor.

Also in Oaxaca a group of feminist activists and organizations marched and symbolically closed the Office of the Prosecutor and the Women’s Secretariat to demand a halt to femicides, despite the fact that a gender alert was issued four months ago.

In Torreón, Coahuila, more than 200 people including women, girls, boys and men who are part of organized groups in La Laguna marched with photographs of their murdered daughters.

In addition, hundreds of women took to the streets of the historic center of Merida, Yucatan, to demonstrate in favor of their rights and against feminicidal violence, which this year alone claimed the lives of six women.

With a march and the conference “Being a woman in times of violence”, in Cozumel, Quintana Roo, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women was commemorated.

They request to emit alerts:

The Plural Network of Women of Puebla called to the present and incoming state governments to collaborate to activate the Declaration of Alert of Gender in the organization.

According to Inegi data, there were 143 violent murders against women in Puebla in 2017. In addition, out of every 100 women, at least 63 have suffered serious attacks.

In Hidalgo, activists carried out the fifth March for the life and freedom of women to make visible the violence against them. The March started at the Monumental Clock of the capital and arrived at the Monument to Women.

The PRI, PRD and Morena parties supported their commitment to Mexican women to advance in the construction of public policies and promote the necessary legislative actions to curb gender violence.

Also, in Toronto, Canada, various organizations of Latin women recognized that, although Canada has programs and policies to support women, there are still cases of violence against women, especially in migrants and Native/ Indigenous women.
