Chile has now endured three weeks of uninterrupted protests, police repression, deaths, and torture at the hands of state agents. The LGBTQ+ community once again joined the marches in Santiago, with self-organized groups from the Dissident Coordinating Committee and the Lesbofeminist Network joining the call from the 8M Feminist Coordinating Committee and the Popular Feminist Assembly to march from Plaza Italia to Los Héroes.

The diversity contingent marched behind the feminist green contingent. Their main demands included safe, legal, and free abortion and non-sexist education. They also joined the national call for equality, justice, and a new Constitution.

"You'll see, you'll see, when the transvestites take power," "Rock paper scissors, scissors, scissors, scissors," "And how, and how, and how is it? They kill us and rape us and nobody does anything," they shouted loudly as the march advanced.

Posters bearing the face of Nicole Saavedra, a young lesbian murdered three years ago, were also displayed to demand justice for a crime that remains unpunished.
