Mexico
Excellent day of feminist and popular rage was registered in Mexico City on March 8, on the occasion of the International Day of Working Women. The organized contingents of women, mainly workers and students, took the first avenues making women feel tired of the growing wave of feminicides that plague Mexico. Women with purple, green, black and red scarves have endorsed feminist rage, reflecting in the main shopping centers and banks of imperialism. Molotov cocktails, stones, firecrackers, pints, sticks and slogans have left a clear message on the streets of the City: the walls and glass are restored, the lives of murdered women have not! The presence of classist slogans among anarchist and communist women in the main cities of the country is increasingly noticeable.
