Images of the Ni Una Menos march in different parts of the country

Thousands of people took to the streets across Argentina on Wednesday for the "Ni Una Menos" (Not One Less) march, a powerful demonstration against gender-based violence. The massive mobilization comes just days after the femicide of 14-year-old Agostina Vega, whose body was found after a week-long disappearance in Córdoba.

The marches also paid tribute to Dulce María Beatriz Candia, 17, who disappeared two weeks prior and was found dead in an abandoned construction site, and Noelia Carolina Rivero, who was stabbed to death in her home by her partner. Under the slogan "Vivas, libres y desendeudadas nos queremos" (We want to live, free, and debt-free), participants displayed portraits of the 100 women murdered so far this year in Argentina.

According to data from activist organizations, one woman is murdered every 31 hours in the country. The demonstrations, held in various cities including Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Mar del Plata, called for effective public policies to combat the scourge of gender violence and the legalization of abortion.

In Córdoba, friends and family of Agostina Vega joined the march, which focused on the recent femicides. In Mar del Plata, protesters highlighted the lack of public policies and demanded abortion rights. The "Ni Una Menos" movement continues to be a critical voice, demanding justice and systemic change to end the epidemic of femicides in Argentina.
