Thousands March in Spain to Demand an End to Violence Against Women, Gaza Genocide
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new study finds one in three women in the European Union has
experienced gender-based violence in their lifetime. In Spain, thousands
of protesters, some donning white masks, marched through Madrid Monday,
the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Lucía Nistal: "We're here to denounce the male chauvinist violence we
suffer, which of course are the femicides - we've had more than 80 in
the Spanish state throughout the year, regrettably - but also the wage
gap. We suffer job precariousness and many other things that we are
denouncing today - for example, the military budgets and the
militarization of borders or the genocide in Palestine. We have that in
mind, too, at this demonstration."
