Members of the Ni Una Menos movement held a protest this week in Santa Fe (pictured left), at the foot of a statue commemorat­ing Carlos Monzón, the Argentine boxer who held the ‘Undisputed World Middleweig­ht Championsh­ip’ for seven years in the 1970s. Monzón, who died in 1995, had a history of domestic violence and in 1988, while vacationin­g in Mar del Plata, he beat and killed his wife, Uruguayan model Alicia Muñiz, throwing her from the balcony of a secondfloo­r apartment. The protesters in Santa Fe this week were marking the 30th anniversar­y of the femicide, for which Monzón was found guilty of homicide in court.
