In 2015, Argentine society gathered under a common cry to put an end to femicides. Ni Una Menos symbolizes the popular demand that put sexist violence into words. The country continues to mobilize and Mendoza is not left out. Photos of a new June 3.

The femicide of Chiara Páez shook the country in 2015 and motivated the collective organization with the cry of “Not one less”. A demand that, until then, had only been led by feminisms, became social. This June 3 once again mobilized the entire country and the streets of Mendoza were also populated by thousands of people demanding the end of the femicides and all gender violence.
