Hundreds of thousands gathered outside Congress to call for an end to femicides in the 11th Ni Una Menos (Not One Less) march. They also protested the dismantling of policies dedicated to protecting victims and fighting gender-based violence during President Javier Milei’s administration.

With the recent murders of Agostina Vega, Dulce Candia and Noelia Romero like an open wound, feminist groups, relatives of femicide victims, activists, union members, political organizations and independent protesters flooded the streets of the main public squares across the country.

In Buenos Aires, the demonstrators occupied the 10 blocks of Avenida de Mayo, going from government palace Casa Rosada to Congress, carrying banners with the faces and names of thousands of women and girls who were killed in violent contexts.

The Ni Una Menos movement began in 2015 after a string of femicides. Since then, women take to the streets every June 3 to demand justice for all victims. Every year, an average of two hundred new names and faces appear on the banners.
