March 8 is said to be Women's Day but once again there is little to celebrate and so we prefer to talk about International Women's Day to put the spotlight on the condition of women: an anniversary still marked by feminicides (there are already 20
women killed since the beginning of 2023
), from physical, psychological and economic violence in a society where women still struggle to sit in top positions, have
little representation in politics
and continue to have to choose between family and work.
