For Valentine's Day 2020

"Thousands of people posted or shared pictures of flowers, rainbows and animals, using hashtags such as #IngridEscamilla and #IngridFotos.
“You deserve to be remembered for who you were, not what they did to you,” said Twitter user @itsamonbebe, who posted nature pictures."

" On Friday, Valentine’s Day, dozens of women tossed red paint and sprayed graffiti on the front entrance of the National Palace, the president’s home and office. They insisted López Obrador apologize for his remark and demanded an end to impunity. Less than 10 percent of femicides in Mexico are solved. “Today we are all Ingrid Escamilla,” one protester told journalists, speaking on the condition of anonymity to stress the collective action. Nineteen states and Mexico City have declared gender violence alerts, which impose emergency measures and are also aimed at raising awareness."
