AP, MEXICO CITYSeveral hundred feminist activists on Saturday warmed up with chants next to a monument to murdered Mexican women before filling a street in the capital and dousing female police officers with red paint. On average, 10 women are murdered every day in Mexico, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women. Nearby, mothers and sisters of murdered women took turns at a microphone to describe how their girls were murdered, and how, years later, the perpetrators remain free. Those who complained about the graffiti care more about statues than real women, the protesters said. The protesters shouted “traitor” at the female officers, who pursed their lips and resisted fighting back — even when one officer’s uniform briefly caught fire from a Molotov cocktail.
