Overview
- Argentina’s MuMaLá counted 229 femicides from Jan. 1 to Nov. 20—about one every 34 hours—with rising brutality, concealment tactics and links to criminal economies, and it urged an emergency declaration and restoration of protection services.
- In Mexico City, three‑metre metal fences reinforced with concrete blocks ringed the Zócalo and key buildings before the 25N march after earlier clashes, while President Claudia Sheinbaum urged a peaceful protest and promised a women’s protection program.
- Local leader Clara Brugada launched the “Si te tocan, nos tocan” anti‑harassment campaign and detailed actions including a new women’s defensoría, a transport agreement against harassment, ‘Oleada Violeta’ brigades, illuminated safe routes and a gender module in the SSC.
- Brugada said the city’s prosecutor’s office and legal counsel will send a reform package to the local Congress to strengthen protections in cases of family violence, sexual abuse and hotel security obligations.
- In Spain, 25N brought large civic events and sharp municipal disputes over equality policies, with Madrid’s council trading accusations over service cuts and denialist rhetoric as nationwide marches and institutional acts called for resources and coordination.
