On July 25 , fellows of Red de Mujeres con Dignidad a vivir por Panamá participated in a march organized by Espacio de Encuentro de Mujeres and Red de Mujeres Mesoamericana (RMM), under the slogan “NO to Femicide”.
The concentration was held at the 25 de Julio Square at 16:30 hr.
«Stop gender-based violence» and «My body belongs to me» were some of the slogans claimed at the protest that called on the government of President Ricardo Martinelli to implement measures to stop the violence, after the death of 30 women only this year. From the National Network of Sex Workers Women complained, among other things, the continued violence suffered as a result of police routine operations where they are mistreated, tortured and jailed in many cases.
