And in Argentina, thousands of women walked out of work on Wednesday for a women’s strike, protesting gender violence and the brutal rape and murder of a 16-year-old Argentine girl named Lucía Pérez earlier this month. Protesters held signs reading “If you touch one of us, we all react.” Solidarity protests were also held in Mexico, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and the United States. This is Argentine protester Andrea Vázquez.

Andrea Vázquez: “Because I don’t want to be the next woman in plastic [meaning a body bag]. The clock is ticking, and there is scarcely 30 hours until another body appears. So we all have to be here—men, women, boys, girls, teenagers. And here we are representing society, shouting, “Not one less!” because I was a victim, too, and they also are victims.”
