Thousands of people marched against femicide and gender violence in Argentina’s capital of Buenos Aires in April, 2022 as part of a movement now in its seventh year called “Not One Woman Less.” Protesters call on authorities to do more to tackle femicide, gender violence. There were frequent femicides happening every 35 hours with nearly 2,000 deaths related to gender violence since the first march held in 2016, when tens of thousands of women took to streets to demand justice for the killing of pregnant 14-year-old girl who was murdered by her 16-year-old boyfriend. 81% of those killed classified as victims of domestic violence. Unfortunately, Argentinian justice is still slow in movement and the police do nothing for solving it.
