Argentina: Activists Seek to Raise Awareness of Gender Violence

Following the death last week of a pregnant teenager at the hands of her boyfriend, feminist activists, journalists, and political leaders in Argentina have begun to mobilize to increase public awareness of the problem of gender violence in the country. Their call has been widely publicized and supported in the social media and has now been taken up in the media as well. A demonstration is planned for June 3 in several cities to raise public consciousness and demand the adoption of public policies to address the issue. Laureano Ponce reports from Buenos Aires. teleSUR
