Mexican Feminist Collective Takes over National Human Rights Commission Headquarters

Mexico is experiencing actions to break down gender hierarchies. 

In Mexico City, a feminist collective has taken over the headquarters of the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) making it a shelter for victims of gender-based violence.

On Thursday, The Ni Una Menos (Not One Woman Less) Collective seized the historic center offices of the CNDH, knocked down the building’s sign and replaced it with a banner that reads, “Ni Una Menos Mexico Shelter House.”

The collective’s members claim the CNDH has failed to defend women’s rights and provide adequate assistance to those in need.
