Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Mexican Protesters Demand Government Action to End Femicides

HeadlineApr 25, 2022

In Mexico City, hundreds of people took to the streets Sunday to protest femicides and violence against women, following the death of Debanhi Escobar, an 18-year-old law student who disappeared on April 9. Her body was found last week inside a water tank at a motel in the northern state of Nuevo León. Protesters called for justice for other women who have disappeared.

Liber Viridiana: “I have had friends who have gone missing, who have been raped, and nothing has been done about it. Specific cases have drawn attention from authorities, but this is a reality that has exceeded, because this is something that has been going on for many years.”
