Argentina: Activists call for demonstrations nationwide June 3 to denounce gender=based violence

Event

Activists are calling for protests nationwide June 3 to denounce gender-based violence. Organizers have dubbed the protests "Ni Una Mas" ("Not One More") and aim for rallies across the country. The main rally will be in Plaza Belgrano, Buenos Aires, at 17:00. Protests in other cities in Argentina, such as Cordoba and Rosario, are likely. Cordoba's Plaza Espana and Rosario's Plaza 25 de Mayo are likely protest sites, as are government buildings and police stations nationwide. Past protests have drawn thousands of demonstrators.

Heightened security and traffic disruptions are likely, particularly as the demonstrators have planned to march down major roads in Buenos Aires. Clashes are unlikely, but cannot be discounted entirely.

Advice

Avoid all demonstrations as a precaution. Comply with all directives given by authorities. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately. Plan on traffic disruptions, particularly if traveling through city centers.
