  • Mexican women protest the lack of action from the government against gender violence

    Mexico, Feb 18 (EFE) - Dozens of women gathered Tuesday in front of the National Palace, in Mexico City, to demand justice for the recent murders of women in the country and criticize the lack of measures taken by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and the government.(CAMERA: Denisse Torres Hernández)STATEMENTS FROM ACTIVIST, FERNANDA: (IN SPANISH)"Every day, between 8 to 10 women are killed in the country. Ingrid and Fatima's cases reached the media but plenty of anonymous women have died that we don't know of and the situation continues to be dangerous every day. The government is not protecting our lives and we are looking for ways to get this into the political agenda. Morena, Claudia Sheinbaum and AMLO are a terrible disappointment. The government is not up to the situation. The government is still a macho, misogynist, who clearly does not care for the women in this country. Their decalogue, their moral words may fit in a church but not in a situation like this, we need results and we need proposals that work, not lectures."
