Dozens of feminists stripped naked outside a president's palace as they
held a screaming protest to call for an end to violence against women.
More than 100 protesters held the head-turning demonstration after they
marched to a public square outside Argentinian President Mauricio
Macri's residence.
After taking off their clothes in front stunned onlookers in Buenos
Aires the group formed a pile of bodies and then screamed angrily en
masse.
It was all part of a 'Femicide is Genocide' protest against gender-based
violence, organised by a group called Artistic Force of Communicative
Shock (FACC).
The women were performing a dramatisation as a prelude to the next march
of the feminist collective NiUnaMenos (Not One Fewer) to be held on
Saturday.
In all, 120 women undressed completely in the Plaza de Mayo in front of
the president's home, the country's parliament and its highest court.
The group used the tactic to demand greater protection for the victims
of gender-based violence, which is on the rise in Argentina.
