For those who care to look, in many parts of Latin America (Argentina and Mexico a case in point), Women’s Day has not been "a bland and largely apolitical event" for at least 10 years. We do not have that privilege, because of the epidemic of gender crimes that kill one woman every 24hs on average. An awareness of the working women’s struggles (and the discrimination towards transgender/lgbtq+) are at the center of the massive, hair-raising protests held yearly that have made way, for example, for the abortion law passed in Argentina 2 years ago. There is much that the global feminist movement can learn from the current women’s struggle in this region (also a part of "America"), as well.
