9 years after the first march to demand Not one less, the streets of downtown Mendoza were part of the route of a new congregation this Monday. The congregation of the feminist collective was at 6:00 p.m. at kilometer 0 and will end in Plaza Independencia. The “triple lesbicide” of Pamela Cobos, Roxana Figueroa and Andrea Amarante was one of the great claims of this edition under the message of “we will never return to the closet and the bonfire.”
From the collective Not one less They expressed that “during 2023, 133 hate crimes occurred in Argentina and 250 femicides were reported.” They assure that this Monday’s march is to “demand our right to live a life free of violence. We demand Justice with a gender perspective and human rights.”
“Since 2024 began, femicide attempts have increased, this means that, in addition to the 78 femicides accumulated until April, we have 72 femicides who tried to murder women for reasons of gender,” adds the statement released by Ni Una Menos.
Strong criticism of Javier Milei’s policies also appears among the slogans of the 2024 edition of the Ni Una Menos march: “We say NO to the Base Law and the reforms of the Milei Government.” They warn that the project that the Senate will debate “obliges pregnant workers to perform duties up to 10 days before giving birth, eliminates severance payments, deregulates social monotaxes, raises the retirement age for women to 65 years, in the case of older adults “makes access to the moratorium impossible, causing 9 out of 10 women to not be able to retire, have full access to health care and medicines, among other rights.”
