00:30We are making visible the fight against violence against women.
00:42And well, I think that now we are even more angry for several reasons.
00:46The first reason, I think, is that having a woman president of the republic,

00:57She doesn't care about gender violence, she doesn't care about other issues related to women.
01:07In the course of the year, at least 135 femicides have been reported.
01:11We are seeing that the rate of violence is very high.
01:15Until July of this year, more than 5,000 reports of disappearance of women of all ages have been presented,
01:22from girls, teenagers, women and older adults.
01:24With this, we are seeing that only half of the disappeared have been found.
