Every March 8th worldwide is International Women's Day. Currently, we are experiencing paradigm shifts, and for several years now, streets have been painted purple and slogans have been heard in cities around the world.
International Women's Day began to be recognized by the UN in 1977, primarily originating from women's demonstrations in Europe demanding their rights to vote, better working conditions, and equal opportunities.
On this March 8th, 2024, in Mexico City, women made their presence known, raising their voices in various forms of expression including cultural and artistic displays with dances, music, songs, and even organizing into different blocks to ensure the march proceeded in an orderly manner. Each woman may have her own reason for coming out, shouting, and making herself heard on this day, but they all share the objective of demanding justice and reconsidering relationship dynamics from an ethical perspective.
According to authorities, more than 180,000 women attended, and it was a peaceful march with minor incidents but overall had a harmonious development along the main avenues of the city, culminating in the city's main square, the zocalo.
One contingent representing a slice of Mexican culture was the charra skirmishers contingent. These are women who practice the sport of charrería, which involves various activities with their horses.
Different movements developed in each state of the country, utilizing various forms of expression. March 8th is a reminder that there have been many advances over time, but there is still a long way to go. It is a day of sisterhood in the face of injustices, a day to reflect and question oneself.
