Ten thousand female’s voices sang, shouted in alliance in Spanish in front of the National Stadium in Santiago, Chile, on December 4th, 2019.
Mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and friends congregated to protest violence against women and chant and dance. The sun blazed down on the crowd dressed in black on a sweltering 90 degrees southern hemisphere’s summer evening. They swayed side to side to a metronome-like drumbeat as sweat-staches formed on their upper lips.
On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, November 25th, the performance was repeated in Santiago with thousands of women participating. The video was posted on YouTube and within days it went global. Sister performances were filmed and shared from Colombia to Germany, Mexico to France, England to Argentina, amongst other countries, and in numerous cities and towns throughout Chile.
Betancourt reportedly chose the location of The National Stadium “Estadio Nacional” as an homage to the torture and killings that happened there in the 70s during the Pinochet dictatorship.One of the many women in attendance was Alicia Páez, 53, Pedagogy of English Coordinator at Universidad Diego Portales.
