Mexican Protesters Demand Government Action to End Femicides
------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico City, hundreds of people took to the streets Sunday to protest
femicides and violence against women, following the death of Debanhi
Escobar, an 18-year-old law student who disappeared on April 9. Her body
was found last week inside a water tank at a motel in the northern state
of Nuevo León. Protesters called for justice for other women who have
disappeared.

Liber Viridiana: "I have had friends who have gone missing, who have
been raped, and nothing has been done about it. Specific cases have
drawn attention from authorities, but this is a reality that has
exceeded, because this is something that has been going on for many
years."
