“Sentimos lo mismo, que tu lucha ha sido reprimida”
One month after the murder of 17-year-old Itzel Méndez Pérez, hundreds of people protested in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, against feminicide and violence against women. The march started at the Faculty of Social Sciences and went to Fraccionamiento Sonora, where the body of Itzel Méndez was found. From there it went to the plaza of the Cathedral, where civil organizations and residents of the city declared San Cristóbal an unsafe city.

El 11 de Mayo de 2012 se llevó acabo una marcha contra la militarización del Territorio que culminó con un mitin en Amatenango del Valle, Chiapas. Ahí dieron su palabra las mujeres que se manifestaron en contra de la guerra, la militarización, los proyectos de despojo y afirmaron su sí a la vida y a la defensa de la madre tierra. A continuación, el contenido de uno de los comunicados que contiene una grave denuncia de la incursión y el efectivo posicionamiento de la Marina Nacional en territorio comunitario.
