Thousands of women in Mexico have spent Mother’s Day marching in the nation’s sprawling capital, chanting and carrying pictures of their missing relatives, to demand accountability amid a worsening surge in violence.
“Where are they, where are they? Our children, where are they?” the women shouted on Tuesday as they demonstrated with supporters along Mexico City’s main avenue under the banner, “March for National Dignity”.
Protesters blocked traffic while pumping their fists and chanting, “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!”
