Powerful protests against Femicide around the world. Lots of other countries shown youtube.
The patriarchy is a judge
who judges us by birth
and our punishment
is the violence you can see.
It is femicide.
Impunity for my killer.
It is disappearance.
It is rape.
And it was not my fault, not the place where I was nor the dress that I chose!
And it was not my fault, not the place where I was nor the dress that I chose!

It’s the cops!
The judges!

Sleep well, innocent girl.
You don’t have to worry about the bandit
Your sweet and smiling dreams
are taken care of by your Carabinero* lover.
