"(to the authorities) Listen, listen to the mothers of the women who are no longer here, to the women who from now on have to continue their lives knowing that their daughter, or their sister, is no longer alive. Listen to them, they need to be heard. Clearly there is nothing that can bring back a lost daughter to a mother but at least that her voice can resonate. I think that would be a great first step."

STORYLINE:
Thousands of women marched to the National Palace in Mexico City on Saturday marking International Women’s Day demanding an end to the violence and femicides that plague the North American country.
“Don’t be indifferent, women are killed in people’s faces.” chanted a group of young women during the march.
"Clearly there is nothing that can bring back a lost daughter to a mother but at least that her voice can resonate. I think that would be a great first step," said Arcelia Alvarado to The Associated Press.
In Sao Paulo, Brazil’s most populous city, the march along the central Paulista Avenue was led by a banner shouting “For women’s lives!”
The march brought together activists, union workers, leftist parties and feminist groups demanding gender equality, labor rights, legal abortion and more action to combat violence against women in the country.
"There’s feminicide, women dying just for being women. We must have the right to exist, to be who we want and do what we want,” said Cristiane de Lucia, a nurse at the demonstration.
This year Brazil marks the 10th anniversary of the approval of the Femicide Law, which defines the conditions for the crime of femicide and classified it as a heinous crime.
According to the most recent data from Brazil’s Public Safety Yearbook, in 2023, 1,467 women were assassinated in the country for gender reasons – the highest number since the enactment of the law that defines the crime in 2015.
