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.

As the day passed phrases were projected on the front of Palacio Nacional like:
“Femicidal Mexico”
“A rapist will not be governor.”

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.

“The wall that got turned into a memorial”
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)
Help us raise our voices, help us be heard!

From Mexico to the World
Obrador's government is a rapist. Please don't let this go to a hole, help me making it viral, or something, someone out there has to see this, please.
Every day, 11 women are murdered in Mexico
The president approved a rapist as candidate for governor of the state of Guerrero.
The president raised a wall in front of the national palace, making of this a direct aggression towards women.
This government hates women and we cannot remain silent!!
