An end to violence against women is a goal everyone shares, and the world stood up in support of that cause last November 25th. In our little town of Los Barriles, local ladies met at the Fountain to march in support of an end to all violence against mujeres. The original plan was for only women to march in a show of solidarity, but for a cause this universal, several hombres joined them. The result was a reminder that solidarity is only enhanced when it becomes inclusive. Chants of pride drew people out to the street as the marchers with pink balloons passed through. They gathered at the cancha, where our Mayor, Francis Olachea, thanked the crowd and encouraged us all to keep the faith and continue the fight to eradicate violence against women. A special thanks goes to Josefina Ruiz, for her leadership, and particularly for the T-shirts and pink balloons.
