- Puebla, Toluca and Tepic: Religiƒ³n en Libertad reported on 9 March 2021 that the cathedrals of Puebla, Toluca and Tepic were also attacked by radical feminists during the International Women"s Day march. Feminists broke through the human chain trying to protect the cathedrals and smeared the exterior walls with graffiti and green paint.
World Watch Research analyst Rossana Ramirez comments: "The marches on International Women's Day have become an opportunity for feminist protest. Some of the feminist groups are radical and violent and have shown their rejection of the Church's opposition to abortion by committing acts of vandalism and damage to churches. Christians who formed a human chain to protect church buildings have been screamed at and attacked. It is especially worrying that the degree of violence and aggression towards churches and religious statues is increasing in intensity every year. This reflects how the intolerance of Christian teaching and places of worship is becoming normal for many parts of Latin American society."
