This March 8th, they took to the streets to protest the 31 femicides and at least two hate crimes (official figures are unavailable); a nearly two-year-long legal battle against the gender perspective in education, seeking its removal from the national curriculum; and the rise of fundamentalisms that deny the humanity of women and LGBTQ+ people, while also denying the everyday violence they experience.
