8M International Women’s Day

Women took the streets of Bogotá D.C., marching with signs that read: “Care work is unpaid work.” “Until when?” "Free, powerful, and fearless," “Redistribution of care now.”

Two women's signs reads: "In a country so ignorant that they “scream” louder a goal than an injustice," and  "Granny, I came to shout what they made you keep quiet."

A woman, chanting with fervor, painted: "Not One More" in bold red across her chest. 

At the march, one of the woman signs reads: "My body is my house, and in my house I rule," while another holds one that says: "Friend: I believe you."

A woman's back, marked with red paint reads: "In honor of those we don't believe."

On her jacket, the words boldly declare: "Girls just wanna have fundamental right."

Voices raising in unison, women screaming for justice, their power echoing through the streets. 

Sings in the background read: "Mom, I believe you," and "We are the cry of those who no longer have a voice," while a woman screams in the foreground.

On International Women Day, the streets of Bogotá echoed with the powerful voices of thousands of women who came together to express their strength and solidarity during the 8M demonstration. In the midst of this collective call for equality and justice, poignant messages resonated:
“Care work is unpaid work.” “Until when?” “Redistribution of care now.” “In a country so ignorant that they “scream” louder a goal than an injustice.” “Granny, I came to shout what they made you keep quiet.” “Not one more.” “In memory of all the girls who were not believed.” “Girls just wanna have fundamental rights.” “That leaving home may not be a high-risk activity.” “My fear became strength.” “I am the girl who resists but I am the friend of the one who you will never abuse.”

Every voice carries significance, every story merits acknowledgment, and collectively, women are forging a path towards a world where equality and justice bloom.
