Argentine marches condemn domestic violence
Thousands of people have taken part in a march in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires condemning violence against women, the BBC reports.
Marches against "femicide" also took place in other cities and in neighbouring Chile and Uruguay.
The protests follow recent cases of violence against women that have shocked Argentina.
Women's rights groups, unions, political parties and the Catholic Church have all backed the marches.
In Buenos Aires, marchers carried banners and wore badges proclaiming "Ni una menos" (Not one less) - the rallying cry for the campaign.
Some wore shirts emblazoned with the photos of the victims of domestic violence.
Argentine news agency Telam estimated that more than 200,000 people took part in the rally.
