Around 1,500 people marched yesterday afternoon in the provincial capital to demand justice for Ayelén Gómez, the trans woman murdered last week, whose body was found at the Lawn Tennis Club. “I am suffering from her absence and I am grateful to everyone who joined this march,” Liliana, her mother, who is a plaintiff in the case, told Presentes.
Trans and trans activists joined the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo's historic Thursday march. "We came with the Mothers so they could embrace us in this demand for justice for Ayelen Gómez. They have always been there for us," said Marlene Wayar, one of the activists. Afterward, the groups held a trans vigil in the plaza to protest the murder of Ayelen Gómez.
The cumbia of 'Sudor Marika' screams with activism and empowerment. With nine members, the Argentinian band was born as a response to the question they were asked with disgust: "Do you like cumbia?", the same tone they used when asked about their sexual and existential tastes.
