The mayor of Hermosillo, Célida López, asked to identify, point and punish those who caused damage to the building of the Judiciary, during the demonstrations of women on Sunday, against gender-based violence and to demand justice for femicides.
“I deeply regret that violence is the expression of pain and frustration. We cannot confuse the right to demand and manifest ourselves with the right to vandalize and affect public goods and buildings,” López said.
I wish Célida Lopez would say that every time we report that we were raped should be investigated and proceeded legally.
I wish Celida Lopez would say that it needs to be clarified every single one of us disappears.
I wish we were worth as much as walls and papers.

“Hundreds of free women participated in Hermosillo who support the movement, who did so peacefully, the public demand is to identify and point out those who take the lead and violate the movement. The State must investigate, and proceed legally. Out of respect for the majority who participated peacefully. It is urgent to clarify who was responsible,” she added.
“Not one more killed!” is the slogan of around 500 women who gathered at the Museum and Library of the University of Sonora, in Hermosillo, to demonstrate against the femicide. pic.twitter.com/o6iureiLJW

Last Sunday, hundreds of women in Hermosillo marched to demand a halt to physical and sexual violence against them.
The contingent departed from the steps of the University of Sonora and concluded in front of the state judiciary building.
Women claimed that by carrying out protests in front of the building, they turned off the lights, which they regarded as an act of indifference by the authorities to the pheminid violence suffered by women.
Some protesters painted and threw the main doors of the building; Already inside, they broke windows, burned papers and laid blankets, according to the Reform report.
