One day following commemorating the International Day for the Elimination of Violence once morest Women, different organizations and political groups marched this Friday through the streets of the center of the city of Córdoba to make visible the demand that is heard every November 25 at the level world.
The column, which started at 6 p.m. from Colón and Cañada, was led by representatives of different organizations, who showed the flag with the slogan of the march: “Not one right less, not one more adjustment.” The climate of uncertainty and tension due to the advance of the extreme right in the elections was felt in the streets. Different leaders of the feminist movement warned of the need for greater unity and organization of the movement to defend the rights achieved in recent years.
At the national level, marches will take place this Saturday in Buenos Aires and other cities in the country. The political and social context is tense due to various threats and persecutions. This Friday the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity of the Nation suffered two bomb threats. On the other hand, workers of line 144 for reporting violence issued a statement in which they assure that they have been victims of harassment and threats since last Sunday.
The march, which did not exceed four blocks, reached Patio Olmos and included the fight once morest child sexual abuse as one of its main slogans. “I do believe you” said a red sweeping flag.
Among those attending the march was Vanesa Domínguez, mother of Milagros Geraldina Reyes, the teenager stabbed to death days ago in the Monja Sierra neighborhood of the city of Córdoba.
“We are here to ask for justice, they took my daughter from me,” said the woman whose ex-partner is accused and detained for Geraldina’s crime. Geraldina’s friends and family accompanied her on her march.
Asked what message she would leave to other women who suffer violence, she answered: “Take care of yourselves, talk because many times fear paralyzes you. And you don’t know who they can take it out on.”
In the initial line that held the sweeping flag were the political references of leftist parties Soledad Díaz García; Cintia Francia, Luciana Echevarría, Julia Di Santi and Laura Vilches. Further back, there was also Liliana Olivero.

The feminist struggle and the Milei government
Meanwhile, Florencia Bianco of the protective mothers once morest child sexual abuse, highlighted the importance of protest and feminist struggle in a political context such as the one that the country will go through starting next December 10.
“For some time now we have been making visible this violence that childhoods and adolescents have historically suffered and that thanks to feminist achievements we are removing the shame with which the issue was previously treated. But also with a judicial power, a Senaf, a Children’s Ombudsman who also fail to remove this violence from families,” she explained.
Then he added: “This year we not only bring those claims, but a rather dark horizon. We know of groups and organizations that defend pedophiles who are accompanying the elected president Javier Milei. With a government that denies women’s rights, I do not believe that our complaints will find a happier ending for our children.”

For her part, Cecilia Aguirre, a self-organized housewife, attended the march with her little daughter who was carrying a sign with the slogan “+ESI -ASI”, in reference to the need to implement more comprehensive sexual education (ESI). to prevent child sexual abuse (CSA). “I come to defend the rights of boys and girls. ESI has to be in all schools, it is an earned right of children. “This march is also once morest childhood abuse,” she said.

A little further back from the beginning of the column, a young woman named Sofía, 23 years old, was wearing white clothes and held up a sign that said: “They won’t shut me up! I was sexually assaulted. If you too, paint my clothes.” A container with red paint and a brush accompanied Sofía in her performance. As people passed by, they brushed her clothes and gave her numerous hugs.
His shock was evident in his eyes and his labored breathing. “I decided to do it because I need it. I was abused at 17 years old. She had never expressed it openly. I think a lot of people need to tell it. It is important that those who have gone through this know that we have each other and that they speak up because it is wrong to keep everything stored away,” said Sofía with a lump in her throat.
