Where are the Swedish correspondents, in Latin America? Yesterday May 16, 2018, 170 thousand students of the high schools and universities, went out onto the streets, to demand a non-sexist education. More than 40 feminist student assemblies called for the first separatist feminist march, for a non-sexist education: "enough of the abuse that we have suffered for decades, suffered by my mother, my grandmother and all the women in my family," explain the girls. The order was clear, the men could only accompany, but not take any role, and they did so, the protagonists were the women. They demand a stop to the sexist phrases and sexual harassment from male students and professors, as well as denouncing sexist education and institutions governed by and for men and their privileges. They also demand concrete laws that free educational spaces from sexism. The police repressed the protests with female police, and the role of demonstration guards were women with bare upper bodies and red "hoods." When the demonstration passed in front of the Palacio de la Moneda, the right wing politicians, that are currently in office, could not believe their eyes seeing thousands of women taking the streets. The students occupied the campuses of the University of Chile and Universidad Catolica and have denounced with name and surname several professors from prestigious universities in Chile.
