Mexican protesters demand action on femicides after 25-year-old woman’s death

A hooded woman lights an aerosol to partially flame one of the doors of the National Palace as a group of activists protest against feminicides in Mexico City, Mexico Friday. Some 100 women took part in this collective action against femicides in Mexico’s capital, sparked by the recent murder and dismemberment of Ingrid Escamilla, one of the latest cases of gender violence in the North American country.
