Holding signs that read "ni una mas" (not one more) and "no fue tu culpa" (it was not your fault), thousands marched across cities in Mexico on Sunday Sep 17,2017, calling for government action against femicide after a 19-year-old was found dead after using a ride-hailing app.
The body of Mara Fernanda Castilla was found near a motel in the central Mexican state of Puebla on Friday after she went missing a week earlier.
In a statement, Puebla authorities said they believe she was killed by a driver from the taxi-hailing application, Cabify. She had used the app on the night of September 8, but never arrived to her destination.
The driver of the vehicle has since been arrested and officials say he will be charged with femicide.
