"In Turkey, where Reuters reports 440 women were murdered by men last year, protests center on femicide. In Brazil, women added the lyrics 'Marielle is present. Her killer is a friend of our president,' a reference to Rio de Janeiro city council member Marielle Franco, whose 2018 murder became a symbol of resistance to dominant political forces in the country."
