It was the second Nov. 3 march by the organization, Voices of Absence, which is out to get the date associated with their cause. “We march on `Day of the Dead Women’ to take them beyond just the altars,” journalist and advocate Frida Guerrera said. They were snatched away, they were ripped from their families, and we want them to be seen. Norma, who declined to give her full name because the suspect is a fugitive, described Valeria as hard-working, healthy and beloved by family and friends. Guerrera said the demonstrators were demanding a “real interest” on the part of authorities to address gender violence.
