Every year on March 8, Bogotá’s streets transform into a river of purple and green. Women of all ages come together - students, mothers, grandmothers - marching for those who can’t.

​

In Colombia, more than one woman is murdered every single day. Over 600 women are killed each year, and countless more are victims of domestic and gender-based violence.

 

The Women’s Day protest is not just a celebration—it’s a demand for justice, safety, and a future without fear.

​

Walking through the march, you hear drums, chants, and stories. Handmade signs carry names of women who never came home. Faces are painted with feminist symbols, and flowers and candles line the sidewalks.

​

This day is a collective act of remembrance and resistance—a way to reclaim public space, honor the victims, and remind the country, and the world, that change is urgent and necessary.
