Women are painting the names of victims of femicide in front of Mexicos National Palace before a massive march to protest gender-based violence and inequality on International Womens Day at Zocalo Square in Mexico City, Mexico on March 8, 2020. According to government statistics, at least ten women are murdered every day in Mexico, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world for girls and women. Femicides rates have doubled in the past five years in Mexico. Impunity is a major problem, 90 percent of cases go unsolved. After a series of brutal femicides, activists called for a national womens strike. On March 9, thousands of women and girls across Mexico are expected to stay home from works, schools and social media sites, in a mass strike called "A Day Without Us" to protest a rising wave of violence against women and what many call an unresponsive government.
