BOGOTA, Colombia – Feminist groups celebrated International Women’s Day with the conviction that their movement is growing. In Caracas, Andrea Paola Hernández recently held up her green bandana to show she is pro-choice.
Hernández, 26, remembers fondly how hundreds of green-clad women celebrated in Argentina late last year after winning their fight to legalize abortion.
The student at the National Experimental University of the Arts is a Women Deliver activist. She said her single mother, who raised her and three other children, is the inspiration behind her fight.

Denis Reanez was looking through her daughter s things when she found a handwritten song she had been penning on a sheet slipped inside her bible.
But Eliannys Martinez would never sing it. She was murdered on February 21 in La Mision in Venezuela s western Portuguesa state, aged just 17 when she became one of the two victims of a sexual predator who sowed terror in the village of 5,000.
Murders of women have surged in Venezuela in the past year, and the killings in La Mision have embodied the fear, pain and anger that many in the Latin American country have felt as a result.
