Women walk barefoot on asphalt, clothed in shreds of organza in pastel shades of pink and yellow, the favorite colors of murder victim Briseida Carreno, during a ceremony in her honor, in Ecatepec, a suburb of Mexico City, Saturday, November 23, 2019. Mexico City’s mayor issued a gender alert this week for the capital, meaning that 20 of Mexico’s 31 federal entities have declared emergencies over the issue. Activists want more action, and are planning demonstrations to mark Monday’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Women. (Photo by Alicia Fernandez/AP Photo)
