Argentina: Women's rights activists to hold a rally in downtown Buenos Aires from 16:30 June 3
Activists to demonstrate at National Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina, starting at 16:30 June 3, to denounce violence against women.
Women's rights activists plan to hold a rally in downtown Buenos Aires starting at 16:30 on June 3 to denounce violence against women. The event commemorates the ninth anniversary of the murder of a pregnant teenager by her then-boyfriend. Organizers have announced that demonstrators will gather outside the National Congress and along Avenida de Mayo. Participants at Avenida de Mayo will march to the National Congress to meet with other demonstrators for a ceremony scheduled to begin at 18:30.
Thousands are likely to participate in the rally, which will likely prompt security measures and transport disruptions in the area. Clashes between protesters and police are unlikely to occur.
Avoid all protests as a precaution. Plan for delays and alternative routes if operating near the National Congress in Buenos Aires June 3.
