In response to President Javier Milei's inflammatory remarks equating homosexuality with paedophilia and his announcement to eliminate the femicide category from the penal code, thousands of Argentinians protested across major cities, especially in Buenos Aires. His speech at the World Economic Forum criticized 'wokeism' and the fight against climate change while dismantling the Ministry of Women's Affairs, leaving victims of gender violence unsupported. The protest, organized by the LGBTQ+ community and supported by various rights groups, aimed to combat Milei's perceived 'economic violence' and political repression against marginalized communities.
Milei's government dismantled the Ministry of Women's Affairs, leaving many victims of gender-based violence without institutional support and leaving about 500 workers unemployed.
Protesters in Buenos Aires were clad in rainbow-coloured flags and bore banners that read 'rights are not negotiable.' Dubbed the 'Federal March of Anti-Fascist and Anti-Racist Pride,' the LGBTQ+ community called the protest.
