(16 Feb 2020) Dozens of Mexican women protested on Saturday against the murder of a young woman and a recent rise in the country's femicide rate.
25-year-old Ingrid Escamilla was killed and dismembered by a man she allegedly lived with in Mexico City last week.
In the northern city of Ciudad Juárez, protesters covered their heads and upper bodies with black plastic bags in a reenactment of a murder scene.
Other demonstrators at the protest also expressed their anger at a newspaper which published a leaked photograph of Escamilla's mutilated body and the crime scene.
In 2019, 3,825 women were killed in Mexico, a 7% increase from 2018, according to government figures.
