Sun Mar 09 09:29:19 UTC 2025: ## Thousands March in Buenos Aires Against Proposed Femicide Law Repeal
**BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA** – Thousands of women staged a massive protest in Buenos Aires on International Women’s Day, vehemently opposing President Javier Milei’s proposed repeal of femicide from the nation’s penal code. The demonstration comes amidst a stark reality: one woman is murdered every 30 hours in Argentina.
Protestors expressed deep concern that the removal of femicide as a specific crime would significantly hinder efforts to combat gender-based violence and prosecute perpetrators. They argued that the move would effectively de-prioritize the issue and further endanger women already facing a critical level of risk. The passionate demonstration underscores the widespread outrage over the President’s proposed legislation and the fear it has instilled within the Argentinian female population. The fight for legal protection against femicide, the protestors made clear, is far from over.
