What's popular and why

In Argentina, a woman is murdered every 31 hours in a domestic violence incident - according to an NGO. Recently, BBC Trending reported on one woman's struggle to get sexual harassment taken seriously.

Now, a protest initiative against this violence, which was supposed to bring a few hundreds together in the centre of Buenos Aires, has now spread to 80 other cities and across the continent on social media.
