The women of Mexico and a sky full of pink glitter are bringing the tensions around gender-based violence to the surface.
The Mexico City protests, deemed the"Revolución Diamantina," or the Glitter Revolution, have gotten the Mexican government's attention after a young girl was raped by four police officers north of Mexico City earlier this month. This comes at a time when change has seemingly been on the horizon for the country, yet has been failed by a lack of movement surrounding the ongoing violence committed against women.
ADVERTISEMENT While the protests have been met with hostility over their disruption of Mexico City, the severity of the issue cannot be understated. The protests demand change on a range of contemporary frustrations, but the issue of femicide is now decades old. Anthropologist Melissa Wright researches gender-based violence specifically in Ciudad Juarez, a city along the US-Mexico Border.
