Marcha de las Prostitutas: My first protest...and a feminist one at that!

Okay, this may require some context: 

The mayor of Nuñoa (the area where I live, shamefully!) called the Internado Nacional Femenino (a local all girl's school) a puterío in a radio interview. Basically, a whore house. In the central plaza on Friday evening, students, parents, and outraged, politically conscious santiaguinos (oh, and a gringa) turned up in front of the Municipal Building to protest. Here are some of the highlights!

 Note caricatures of a naked Alcalde Sabat, in yellow, and the mayor of Providencia in red.

 Translation: I am a whore, and what?


Naked or clothed, we run our own lives.


Los carabineros. Notice, the one in the middle is a woman!
