The Mexican government cares more about buildings and monuments than the 10 women and little girls killed EVERY DAY in the country.
They surrounded the “National Palace” with metal walls to prevent “vandalism” from paint, glitter and banners like last year.
They protect and defend the walls from paint better than they protect us from being kidnapped, raped, killed or letting our abusers roam free.
They placed walls to protect their buildings from the upcoming March 8th Woman’s Day march, but we still found a way to protest and make our voices known.
“Femicide Victims” written in big letters with paint across the metal walls, and underneath the names of the women and girls who aren’t with us anymore.
And soon enough more and more women joined in and gathered at the Zocalo to place, signs, pictures, flowers and more stuff to remember the ones that aren’t here with us anymore and to take over something that was meant to shut us out at the beginning.
We are tired, we are angry, we are worried and scared. We are often demonized by the mexican media and mocked by many other mexicans for protesting in different ways, from peaceful to non-peaceful. But we will keep fighting and raising our voices!
For our sisters
For our mothers
For our aunts
For our daughters
For our grandmothers
For everyone who isn’t here anymore.
This is just a little bit of everything that’s happening in Mexico, I encourage you to share and search more about this subject. (https://abcnews.go.com/International/380-women-killed-mexico-year-activists-cultural-change/story?id=69258389)
Feminicide still continues in Mexico despite protests.
