Thousands of women and feminists expressed their anger and outrage during the International Women&#x27;s Day marches in Mexico, Argentina, and Peru on Saturday (March 8).In Mexico City, protesters marched through the downtown area to the presidential palace, chanting slogans against gender violence. Relatives of femicide victims shared their testimonies, demanding justice for their loved ones. In January, 54 femicides were reported, and in 2024, there were a total of 839 cases, down from 853 in 2023.In Lima, the march progressed through the city center with chants advocating for equality and condemning gender crimes. A feminist interviewed by Reuters, Nohelia Alejos, stated that she joined the march to help end the fear that women have become accustomed to. According to the Peruvian ombudsman, 170 women were victims of femicide in Peru in 2024, a 13% increase from the previous year.In Buenos Aires, Argentina, President Javier Milei became a focal point of the feminist protests. Since Milei took office in December 2023, women&#x27;s rights have reportedly lost support from the government.&quot;This March 8th we reaffirm our frontal fight against the woke ideology that seeks to profit by dividing our society,&quot; the Casa Rosada government posted on X. &quot;We have managed to reduce homicides by applying a single policy: those who commit crimes pay for them. We went against all criminals, and women were the ones who benefited the most,&quot; the post added.In 2024, the Argentine ombudsman&#x27;s office reported 295 femicide victims, down from 322 in 2023.<div>(Production: Videosur, Alberto Fajardo, Alicia Fernandez, Miguel lo Bianco, Horacio Soria, Pola Grzanka, Anna Portella)</div>
