Mexico: Mothers of 43 Missing Students Mark International Women's Day 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Selma marches also
coincided with International Women's Day, a day first declared by the
Socialist Party of America and now celebrated with thousands of events
around the world, from Nepal to New York. In Mexico City, the mothers of
43 students missing since September after a police attack in Guerrero
joined the Women's Day march.

María Elena Guerrero: "I want to thank you for joining the movement of
women and the mothers of the disappeared of Ayotzinapa. In these five
months that we have struggled against the government, our pain has been
converted into rage. We are in this struggle to find our sons alive,
because they took them alive."
