Authorities detain suspected suspects of the murder of the girl Fatima 4:11

(CNN Spanish) - A group of women concentrated on Wednesday in San Salvador to condemn the brutal attack and subsequent murder of Fatima, the seven-year-old girl whose body was found in a plastic bag in Mexico City.

The women exhibited parts of dolls and lit candles to demand justice because “violence continues to take away the lives of innocent girls,” said Keyla Cáceres, a member of the Collective Network of Young Feminist Women.

According to this organization, women in countries like Mexico and El Salvador are exposed daily to both physical and sexual violence, so they called on governments to promote policies that protect their rights.

The women concentrated in the Plaza Mexico in San Salvador and threw red balloons with names of women and girls who have been victims of violence.

The group also ruled in favor of abortion when the pregnancy is the result of rape: "for now there is no other option but to respond to forced motherhood," says Cáceres.

El Salvador is one of the few countries with restrictive laws that prohibit all types of abortions and also penalizes the woman and the medical team that performs the procedure.
