Argentine Women Denounce Violence

BUENOS AIRES — To celebrate the International Women’s Strike Day on March 8, thousands of women took the avenue Rivadavia of Buenos Aires to march from the national congress to the presidential palace to denounce the widespread gender-based violence in the South American nation.

Just like elsewhere across the globe and in more than 60 cities in Argentina, women called for decriminalizing abortion and implementing the “integral sex education law.”

We were live on Facebook for 15 minutes on AJ+ español from Buenos Aires along with our colleagues from Mexico city on March 8, 2017 . Click here to watch the video.
