ECATEPEC, Mexico (Reuters) - Millions of women across Mexico stayed home from factories, offices and schools on Monday in protest at gender violence - but some who turned up to their jobs said work was its own kind of protest.
The wildcat strike, dubbed "a day without us," was intended to show what life would be like if women vanished from society. It followed massive protests on Sunday to mark International Women's Day.
