Protesters took to the streets in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, on April 24 to publicly oppose sexual and gender violence, including femicide. The female homicide rate in Mexico is high, according to a 2015 report by the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development, with an average of 3.2 female homicide deaths per 100,000 women. This sign reads, “If they touch one, thousands of us organize!” Similar protests took place in more than 40 cities nationwide, according to social media campaigns run by the organizations involved.
