We remember victims of the violence.
We denounce the Mexican Government inaction, incompetence and cover-ups that allow the violence to continue.
We demand the perpetrators be brought to justice.
We express our solidarity with the Mexican women who have organised, held marches, planted pink crosses in the killing fields and who continue the struggle for an end to the violence and impunity.
