#VivasNosQueremos: Women to Strike Across Americas Today to Protest Gender Violence
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hundreds of thousands of women across Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Ecuador,
Bolivia, the United States and other countries are slated to join a
women's strike today to protest violence against women. The protests
come after the brutal rape and murder of a 16-year-old Argentine girl
named Lucía Pérez earlier this month. The day's protest are organized
under the banner #Miercoles Negro, or Black Wednesday, and #Vivas Nos
Queremos, or Alive We Want Us.
