“The women’s one-day strike should not have a big impact on the economy”

Comment from a female bakery shop owner:
“The business would take an economic hit, but it was important to call attention to all the ways women are under attack in Mexico — not only murder, disappearance and rape, but also home and workplace discrimination and lack of equal opportunity”
