For the fifth time, with mobilizations across the country, Argentina marched against patriarchal violence, chanting: "Stop femicides, transvesticides, transfemicides, and hate crimes against transvestites, trans people, lesbians, bisexuals, non-binary people, and all sexual and gender identities. Machismo, misogyny, and hatred are killing us." This is how it unfolded in the City of Buenos Aires.
"Today, June 3, 2019, we are here once again to take to the streets and demonstrate, to say enough to economic, sexist, racist and classist violence against women, lesbians, transvestites, trans people, bisexuals, non-binary people, fat people and intersex people; against the working class: employed, unemployed, precarious workers, picketers and the popular economy, making visible especially indigenous, native, Afro-Argentine and Black women in order to begin to settle the historical debt to them and all the identities violated by patriarchal capitalism and the economic model of Mauricio Macri and the Cambiemos alliance, sustained by his government and the provincial governments that make our lives precarious and deepen all inequalities and oppressions."
"Sexist attitudes, misogyny, and hatred are killing us. So far in 2019, there have been 278 femicides and trans/travesticides. We denounce the trans/travesti genocide. No more girls or teenagers harassed, abused, raped, or murdered. No more comrades revictimized by the media. We demand more funding for public policies to eradicate patriarchal violence."
Promoting policies for the economic and housing independence of women, lesbians, bisexuals, transvestites, trans people, and non-binary individuals who are victims of violence. Stop the trans and transvestite genocide, stop the hate crimes and hate speech. Stop the persecution and repression. Down with the Contravention Codes.
Effective implementation of the Gender Identity Law; each article guarantees a better quality of life. We demand that politicians prioritize this on their agendas.
Implementation of a trans and travesti employment quota nationwide and in all government agencies. Comprehensive Historical Reparation Law for survivors of the genocide. We have the right to a dignified old age.

We denounce the violence, discrimination, and invisibility faced by trans children and adolescents in Argentina. What is not named does not exist. Not one more trans person.
We demand the integrity and respect of intersex bodies. We say no to forced surgeries that seek a normality that is nothing but oppression and repression. Stop genital mutilation.
We denounce the systematic process of pathologizing and stigmatizing fat bodies and demand respect for bodily autonomy.

We denounce the increased repression against migrants, sex workers, all workers, and people in prostitution. Stop the repression, persecution, abuse, and police extortion of sex workers and people in prostitution.
We demand the repeal of the articles that allow for the detention of anyone without a warrant and that criminalize sex workers. The streets belong to everyone; being poor is not a crime.
Labor and social rights for sex workers and real job alternatives for those who want to leave prostitution. Stop the repression and harassment by security forces.
Mariana Gomez acquitted after being prosecuted for kissing her wife at Constitución station in Buenos Aires. Higui also acquitted.
Enough of the patriarchal, sexist, racist, classist, and lesbo-transphobic justice system that subjugates, disciplines, oppresses, and revictimizes us. Impeachment and immediate removal of judges who uphold the patriarchy and are serial violators of gender laws and international treaties that recognize our rights as human rights.
We denounce the justice system as a tool of the capitalist and patriarchal system that ignores the voices of children and forces them to reconnect with their abusers. It stigmatizes and re-victimizes mothers who protect children's rights through the use of the nonexistent Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS). Children do not lie. We demand the urgent implementation of the Micaela Law. We demand the repeal of Law 24270, which prohibits contact between mothers and children and is applied only against them.
Long live June 3rd on the calendar of popular feminist struggles! Not One Less! We want to be alive and free. The State is responsible.
