“We want each other alive and free,” says the proclamation of the Montevideo Feminist Fabric collective, which calls for the mobilization.
During the march, women were asked not to be indifferent and to unite in the fight against femicides and violence.
“For those who continue to be oppressed, revictimized. Against the networks of an oppressive, patriarchal system that unfortunately continues to deepen in Uruguay, ”he said in one of the proclamations read in Plaza Libertad. He added that there is a Judiciary that “is complicit in making the press and media circus about the files (of cases). Forgetting that our lives are in those files.”
“They want to continue dominating our bodies. Together against a patriarchal, capitalist system. This is how we have to go,” he continued.
There was also criticism against the government that “is an accomplice because it continues betting on economic models.”
“We continue until they all appear. They touch one and they touch all,” the proclamation concluded.
“Two years ago we were fed up in this same square, demanding justice for the girls sexually exploited by those accused in the framework of Operation Ocean,” he recalled during the demonstration. Two years after this claim, nine of the defendants were convicted, and eleven will go to trial. “Today the same rage, indignation and awareness of our collective power finds us together again to continue demanding answers.”
“We march because There are already 13 femicides and three infanticides due to vicarious violence so far this year and because there are more and more missing women”, it was read. For the pain of the families who have “a missing girl” and suffer when the body of a lifeless woman appears. As a closer example, Ahielen Casavieja and Karina Sarachu were remembered Dávila “whose bodies were found in March at the house of his femicide in Santiago Vazquez.”
“We also march for those we are still looking for today, because our struggle is to find them alive.”
