As a way of protesting and fighting for women s rights, protesters turned the barricades erected around Mexico s National Palace into memorials. They did this to commemorate the victims of femicide and impunity in the country. The symbolic protest was done during Women s Day, as other parts of the world celebrate the day with joy.
BBC reported that women protesters painted the names of the women who have been killed or murdered in the country roughly because of their gender. To counter the violated rights of women, feminists held a protest addressed to their government, saying the authorities efforts are not enough to protect them against the hostilities that surround them.
