MEXICO: Women’s marches reflect frustrations with government
Protests took place in Mexico City (CDMX) and other cities across the country to mark International Women’s Day on 8 March. The protests, which take place every year, indicate that many women remain dissatisfied with the situation that they face in Mexico, despite the efforts of President Claudia Sheinbaum to address the demands of women’s rights groups and a reduction in femicide rates last year. Indeed, gender violence remains a key issue for protesters with recent high-profile femicide cases in the states of Morelos and Estado de México (Edomex) highlighting the challenges that remain for the government in terms of improving protection for women.
