Global Protests Mark International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Protesters around the world took to the streets Monday to protest
violence against women. Crowds poured into the streets in Spain,
Guatemala, Russia, Sudan, Turkey, South Africa, Bulgaria, France, Chile,
Colombia, El Salvador and beyond to mark the International Day for the
Elimination of Violence against Women. This one of the protesters in
Mexico City.

Protester: "People suffer daily. They assault us, they rob from us, they
kidnap us, they rape us, they kill us and the authorities don't even
care. I beg you, have a little empathy, put yourselves in our shoes.
They're killing us, it hurts us, you don't even realize, make laws that
are just. Death to the rapists, there's no other way."
