El día de hoy miles de mujeres latinoamericanas se manifestaron en contra de la violencia ejercida contra ellas y los feminicidios en varias ciudades del continente. Desde la Ciudad de México hasta Buenos Aires, se unieron para visibilizar el maltrato que sufren por su condición de género, y para buscar un freno a los abusos que día a día se cometen contra ellas por el hecho de ser mujeres.
En México, se reunieron cientos de mujeres en el Ángel de la Independencia, el monumento más emblemático de la capital del país. Vestidas en su mayoría de negro expresaron su preocupación por vivir en un país con altos índices de feminicidios. La convocatoria para la manifestación se realizó a través del hashtag #NiUnaMenos e incluía un paro de labores en el que las mujeres dejarían de acudir a sus centros de trabajo para integrarse a las movilizaciones.
Pero no sólo en la Ciudad de México, también en otros estados del país como Chiapas, Oaxaca y el Estado de México hubo protestas. “¡Ni una asesinada más!”, gritaban para repudiar los homicidios de mujeres. Decenas cerraron la principal avenida de la capital, y ante la molestia de los automovilistas que se quejaban por los cortes a la circulación, varias les decían: “Perdonen las molestias pero nos están matando”.
CNI and EZLN: MAY THE EARTH TREMBLE AT ITS CORE

To the National and International Sixth:
Convened for the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the National Indigenous Congress and the living resistance of the originary peoples, nations, and tribes of this country called Mexico, of the languages of Amuzgo, Binni-zaá, Chinanteco, Chol, Chontal de Oaxaca, Coca, Náyeri, Cuicateco, Kumiai, Lacandón, Matlazinca, Maya, Mayo, Mazahua, Mazateco, Mixe, Mixteco, Nahua, Ñahñu, Ñathô, Popoluca, Purépecha, Rarámuri, Tlapaneco, Tojolabal, Totonaco, Triqui, Tzeltal, Tsotsil, Wixárika, Yaqui, Zoque, Chontal de Tabasco, as well as our Aymara, Catalán, Mam, Nasa, Quiché and Tacaná brothers and sisters, we firmly pronounce that our struggle is below and to the left, that we are anticapitalist and that the time of the people has come—the time to make this country pulse with the ancestral heartbeat of our mother earth.
It is in this spirit that we met to celebrate life in the Fifth National Indigenous Congress, which took place on October 9-14, 2016, in CIDECI-UNITIERRA, Chiapas. There we once again recognized the intensification of the dispossession and repression that have not stopped in the 524 years since the powerful began a war aimed at exterminating those who are of the earth; as their children we have not allowed for their destruction and death, meant to serve capitalist ambition which knows no end other than destruction itself. That resistance, the struggle to continue constructing life, today takes the form of words, learning, and agreements. On a daily basis we build ourselves and our communities in resistance in order to stave off the storm and the capitalist attack which never lets up. It becomes more aggressive everyday such that today it has become a civilizational threat, not only for indigenous peoples and campesinos but also for the people of the cities who themselves must create dignified and rebellious forms of resistance in order to avoid murder, dispossession, contamination, sickness, slavery, kidnapping or disappearance. Within our community assemblies we have decided, exercised, and constructed our destiny since time immemorial. Our forms of organization and the defense of our collective life is only possible through rebellion against the bad government, their businesses, and their organized crime.
We denounce the following:
