3:08 am
been happening in today's protests and also the specific problems that women in mexico face. tens of thousands of women took to the streets of mexico city this is part of those larger demonstrations taking place and other parts of the world and in other parts of latin america in the case of mexico the demonstration the march is really one of the largest in recent memory and it's part of a larger movement here in mexico a growing feminist movement against what many see as a culture of much cheese more and a male dominated society and this is what people are are protesting against women are angry over the alarming rate of femicide violence against women in mexico according to a recent poll upwards of 60 percent of women 15 in 15 years and above report some form of emotional or physical abuse more than 40 percent of women report having suffered some form of sexual assault and this is what women out here are protesting so right now things quieted down quite
3:09 am
a bit you mentioned some of those clashes that took place between demonstrators and police you mentioned that some businesses and store fronts were broken there's been a lot of criticism over some of the tactics used by the more militant the more radical factions of the feminist movement but when we've spoken to these women what they say to us is that they've tried the peaceful route they've tried to speak to the government and this is the only way that they're being heard and old denies is a granting a nationwide strike on my. manny what can we expect from that. burnout salute is without precedent just as this feminist movement continues to grow here in mexico there are other activities other demonstrations that are going to be taking place including one on monday which is a national strike through using the hash tag the a single soldiers a day without women worth thousands of women we don't know how many but many many women have said have vowed that they will not part be going to work they will not be attending class to to continue to call on the government to do more that's one

3:11 am
they need and that they must have equal participation in politics and this is particularly important at this stage here in chile because there will be or very likely be a new constitutional assembly and it has been a struggle to ensure that women would have heritage in other words that there would be equal numbers of representatives to write that new constitution that women as well as men that was approved by congress just a few days ago but unfortunately the president is now on the. most of the people that are marching in front of us and not in very complimentary terms because he said the following and i want to quote him exactly he said very often it's not just the desire of men to abuse women but also the position of women to be abused that caused an outrage on social networks and on the streets he said that's not what he meant that it was taken out of context but clearly a very sensitive it strikes a very sensitive court here in chile at this point especially since the latest
