(16 Feb 2020) Voices against femicide resounded on Saturday at the Mexico City building where Ingrid Escamilla was mutilated and murdered, in a case that has come to personify outrage over the rising incidence of gender-related killings.
Women's groups participated in the capital and other Mexican cities to denounce once again the lack of action by authorities.
The apartment block in the humble and unsafe neighbourhood where Escamilla lived, where a small altar was installed with flowers, photos and candles, became an improvised stage where women of all ages shared pain and testimony.
The cries of "justice" or "no more" were repeated in the street leading to Escamilla's house along which dozens of neighbours showed their support by hanging purple cloth or cardboard next to photos of the murdered young woman.
Twenty-five-year-old Escamilla was killed and dismembered by a man she allegedly lived with in Mexico City last week.
