The group "Ni Una Menos" began with the activities and called for a meeting in Congress to carry out a
"feminist vegetable"
together with the Union of Land Workers (UTT) that around 16 o'clock distributed bags with vegetables to those who approach.
Then the general concentration will take place.
"We stop because we are not going to let go of the streets, because our strength is collective,
because we shout enough to patriarchal violence, because we are not going to pay for the crisis with our bodies
and our territories," they said.
The list of slogans and proposals "We stop" in Argentina, signed by dozens of organizations, unions and social movements throughout the country, begins with the effects that the coronavirus has on the situation of women, lesbians, bisexuals, transvestites and transvestites.
Meanwhile, one of the shouts that will be heard loudly will once again be "Not One Less", after a series of femicides that shocked society and for which the sanction of the
Emergency Law on Gender Violence will
be insisted
.
In addition, for the first time, the commemoration and the 8M strike will take place with a law on
Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy in the country.
In this sense, the petition requested the effective application of the new regulations and the release of those who are imprisoned for having an abortion or for obstetric events,
which are estimated to be at least 1,532 women.
