Argentina: Feminist organizations plan protests in multiple cities in support of abortion rights Sept. 28
Feminist organizations aim to protest across Argentina Sept 28. Heightened security, localized disruptions likely.
Event
Feminist activists from various organizations plan to demonstrate in multiple cities nationwide on Sept. 28. The action aims to show support for abortion rights. Participants in Buenos Aires have confirmed they will gather at Plaza de Mayo before marching toward Congress at 16:00. In Cordoba City, activists aim to gather at the Museum of Anthropology from 18:00; there will also be a march that departs at 18:00 from the intersection of Colon and Canada streets to Patio Olmos. Turnout will likely be largest in Buenos Aires and other urban centers; up to a few thousand individuals could attend the demonstrations.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near rally sites. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, mainly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
Advice
Avoid the protests as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations if operating near impacted areas. Seek alternate routes to circumvent any related transport disruptions. Leave the area at the sign of any security disturbances that may materialize. Heed the instructions of authorities.
