Feminists in Buenos Aires City gathered in front of Congress as they have done every year since 2015 when the first Ni una menos march was held. Unlike its direct English translation, travesti in Argentina is a gender identity with deep political roots that is worn with pride. María José Poncino of Movimiento Evita and Ni Una Menos Rosario, told Télam that they were “back on the streets because inequality persists in society and this situation has worsened with a fierce debt from 2017 and with the pandemic”. “This year we want to reinforce the importance of eradicating political violence against women and diversity,” said provincial gender leader Amira Maslup in official statements. With banners reading “Ni Una Menos, the state is responsible”, the event was attended by members of the Women’s Movement of Bahía Blanca, Pan y Rosas, among others, along with relatives of victims of femicide and mothers’ organizations.
