“For us (8M) is a vindication of all the previous struggles that have brought us to this point. It must also be said that other things have to be discussed. We are against fascism. We do not want our rights to be taken away from us and we also want it to be recognized that our bodies are a territory. And our territories have to be protected.”

STORYLINE:
Thousands of women took to the streets of capitals across Latin America on Saturday to mark International Women’s Day and demand gender equality and an end to gender-based violence.
Led by feminist and human rights organizations, the march in Chilean capital Santiago paraded down the main Alameda avenue, with participants chanting, carrying banners, and expressing their demands through artistic performances.
“I came to march with my daughter to demand gender equality, especially in childhood, because girls will grow up to become women, and we want a fairer world for all girls and women in this country and around the world.” said Sabina Cardenas, a teacher and protester.
In Quito, Ecuador’s capital, hundreds joined the demonstration, calling for the eradication of violence against women, the legalization of abortion, and an end to what they consider a systemic inequalities that disadvantage women.
Rosita Rojas, a young spokesperson for the Transfeminist Assembly of Quito, marched wearing a purple wool mask.
"We are against fascism. We do not want our rights to be taken away from us and we also want it to be recognized that our bodies are a territory. And our territories have to be protected.” Rojas stated.
Meanwhile, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a city known for its massive feminist demonstrations in recent years, tens of thousands gathered once again to make their voices heard.
"This march reminds us that we are not alone. The nickname of hysterical, persecuted and crazy, when we meet, disappears. It works for us, it has always worked for us. I always took this march and other meetings as a ritual." said Luciana Moreno, a longtime participant.
Women across the world called for equal pay, reproductive rights, education, justice and decision-making jobs during demonstrations marking International Women’s Day.
Officially recognized by the United Nations in 1977, International Women’s Day is commemorated in different ways and to varying degrees in places around the world.
