- Manifests highlighted demands to end gender-based violence, close the pay gap, safeguard reproductive rights, build public care systems, and curb emerging digital abuses.
- Asturias’ unified march revived antiwar chants and reaffirmed a pledge to not retreat on recently won protections, framing violence against women as structural and systemic.
- In Argentina, Mar del Plata’s 8M focus was opposition to a recently approved labor reform that organizers describe as regressive for women and diversities, alongside calls to restore gender institutions.
- Regional actions included Lima marches led by groups such as Manuela Ramos and Flora Tristán, while in Salta activists mobilized for policy solutions and the province announced a free women’s health care day; separately, three men in Quilmes were arrested and imputed for culpable homicide over a street rope that killed motorcyclist Federico Martínez.
