About the march on women’s day in Mexico. Exclusive experience and photos. (Use “translate” if need be) 🙂
#8m #9m
Marchamos por nosotras, marchamos por las que ya no están y que no pueden marchar, marchamos por las que vienen.
Marchamos todas, marchamos juntas.
Marchamos porque de 3 mil 825 feminicidios denunciados en 2019 en México (sin contar los casos infinitos no son registrados por el mismo sistema), la mayoría permanece impune.
Marchamos porque en el mismo año se registró que desaparecieron 7 mil 654 mujeres y niñas, de las cuales 85 fueron localizadas sin vida y 2 mil 43 siguen pendientes de localizar (de nuevo, faltan todas las que no se registran).
Marchamos porque el 63% de mujeres de 15 años o más, hemos experimentado al menos un acto de violencia, ya sea emocional, física, sexual, económica o patrimonial en México. Y porque al menos una de cada tres mujeres en el mundo ha sido golpeada, violada o ha padecido algún tipo de abuso en su vida.

Que fuertes y necesarias son estas cifras. Una en tres mujeres en el mundo ha recibido trato violento. Es hora para más conciencia – gracias. R
Todavía hay mucho trabajo que hacer…
Como dicen en Chile, “Si, pos.” (pues)
pós sí. Acá también… (El acento Chileno es muy peculiar. It takes me a bit to get the rhythm…)
Bonita semana.
Igualmente, buen momento creativo mundial.
No words, just tears.
Better keep fighting. 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
They have become visible and vocal.
Yes. And what our generation took as granted, i.e. an equal access to all for women is under fire again, so better be visible and vocal. Thanks for the visit and comment
Yes, we live in strange times. Some said to me recently that because there were only a few vocally advocating for change and they held influential positions, once they were gone it’s been winding back, I’m not sure, but as you say, under Fire.
The translator wouldn’t work on the original.
Ah. Sorry about that. You most certainly would have liked the text. Right down your alley. 🙂 Let me tell the author (Daughter #2) about it. See if she can do something. Thanks for dropping by.
Thank you for working on this important issue. 🙂 Hope you’re working on more posts about your childhood…with photographs, of course.
Glad to bring a small contribution…
Already have a few drafts ready on African Childhood. Will post in due course. Just posted another one on art… Be safe Gigi.
We think that we are so protected here in Denmark, but the stories I hear from women around me …
It may come as a shock for people of our generation (I started College in 1970). But i think there is a very strong chauvinistic under current… All the more reason to fight…
Yes, the attitude towards women generally seems to be, at the lower end that is, between condescending and disparaging, and then it gets worse.
Yes, even in Europe, despite major progress, there seems to be a regression… Well, we shan’t let that happen, shall we? 😉
I don’t accept it when they try to do it with me, I am eloquent in several languages …
LOL.
The extent of the danger that women in Mexico are in daily is hard to fathom. Don’t men care about the safety or the wellbeing of their wives and daughters? (mothers, sisters)
It is a good question. Apparently many don’t. It’s a combination of many factors. Culture is one. Lawlessness is another. I believe less than 5% of crimes are actually ever taken to court. Sigh.
Less than 5%, my oh my, they “settle” out of court maybe …
No. Not at all. Only 5% go to court, because the culprits are never caught. We probably have the worst police and court system in the world… Totally corrupt… (And I’m talking murders, rapes, assault. Crimes not misdemeanors)
Que triste……….
Sí, qué triste. Pero ve lo positivo: las mujeres acá ya se están levantando. Y conociendo varias… no van a parar. 🙂
Cómo va allá con el virus?
We’re going to go into lockdown in Mexico in the next few days. France and the rest of Europe just did.
Cuídate, amiga.
In my state they have closed most schools, restaurants (carry out only now) bars, movie theaters and some supplies at grocery stores are gone or being limited. Cuídate, amigo.
Toilet paper seems to have become a rare commodity worldwide… We saw people packings loads and loads of them at Costco on Saturday! LOL.
Todos nos tenemos que cuidar… Bonita semana.
Que pasa con el papel? No lo entiendo! Bonita semana and take care too!
La gente está loca, creo… 🙂
Están empezando a cerrar escuelas y universidades acá… A ver q pasa. 🙂
Be good.
Es la vida ahora! Stay safe.
Oh, excellent. Looking forward to seeing it. And the one’s you’re getting ready. Take care in this time of insanity.
Insanity is the correct word. I must say I am still more concerned by it, than by the virus. Though I belong to population at risk. We will take precautions of course. All that are necessary. But still, the rampant stupidity pandemic is even more worrisome…
Be good.
