Thousands of women took to the streets in a historic day for the mobilizations of recent years. There was also a protest organized by various groups outside the prosecutor's office to demand justice for the murders of trans women. At the close of the main event, two laws were called for: an anti-discrimination law and a gender identity law.
The voices and stories that inspired lesbians, bisexuals, trans people, and transvestites to join a historic march. Sexual diversity groups added their demands. "We are striking in defense of sexual and gender diversity," stated the #NiUnaMenos document read at the closing of the event in Plaza de Mayo.
“The police threw us to the ground and kept saying, ‘Kid, kid, stay calm,’” said Amanda, one of the lesbians beaten and illegally detained by the police. Some were taken to the 1st Police Station, others to the 4th Precinct station, at Zabaleta and Chutro. All were released this morning.
