MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Holding aloft crosses bearing the names of murdered women, hundreds of people marched in Mexico's capital on Wednesday to protest violence against women amidst a steady nationwide increase in femicides.

Chanting "We are your voice," organizers used megaphones to read out the names of murdered women in downtown Mexico City.
