STORYLINE:
Human rights defenders and members of different feminist collectives gathered in Mexico City's main square on Wednesday to protest against the killing of women in the country.
Women wore a black veil and held pink crosses with the word 'justice' on them as Indira Sandoval, a Mexican activist and human rights defender, read a feminist version of 'Our Father' on a symbolic feminist bible.
"They have taken away from us the security to be able to go out in the streets, the security to go out and enjoy a party without fearing that someone will get us drunk and will rape us, in the best case scenario," said Candelaria, a feminist activist who attended the protest.
Women chanted and marched towards the National Palace where they again read the feminist prayer.
At the end of the demonstration, women hung their pink crosses on the fence of the palace.
Official figures show that 11 women a day are killed in Mexico.
Investigations are often taken into the hands of mothers and families, in an environment where killing women and disappearances happen with almost total impunity.
These crimes are prosecuted in Mexico as a hate, gender-based crime known as femicide.
