Hundreds join violence against women protest in Mexico

The names and photos of Mexico’s missing and murdered women were carried on crosses in a protest in Mexico City on Wednesday, as dozens marched to demand justice for the victims and protest against gender-related crimes across the country.

The “Day of Dead Women” march took place in Mexico City a day after the national Day of the Dead. At least 10 women and girls are murdered every day in Mexico; there was a 130% increase in femicides from 2015 to 2020.

Holding aloft crosses bearing the names of murdered women, hundreds of people marched in Mexico’s capital to protest violence against women amidst a steady nationwide increase in femicides.
