The main rally was at the Congress, where a document entitled “We were a tide, we will be a tsunami” was read, saying: “With this day of struggle we say that freedom is ours and not of the markets nor of the governments”.
We, feminists, celebrate, because however, we took another step, we advanced and with us, generations, hundreds of women and men, who will have ways out of the violence and will know that it is possible the trial, that so far away for us.

This year different Mexican women’s groups organized two actions for the historic conmemoration of March 8, International Women’s Day. The 8M march and the Mar. 19th women’s work stoppage.
