Following a vicious rape of 16-year old Lucia Perez that led to her death by cardiac arrest, thousands of women in Argentina wore black and walked off their jobs to protest the culture of “machismo” which has allowed so much violence against women.
Women dressed in black protest sexual violence and oppression in Argentina.
The protests had started earlier in June, but the recent violence brought tens of thousands to the streets in many Argentine cities. Their slogan is “ni una menos,” “not one woman less.” Photos tweeted of women wearing black have added to the presence on the streets.
