National holiday since 2024. The marches through Santiago are among the largest in Latin America, filling the Alameda from La Moneda to Baquedano with green scarves and fierce conviction. Chilean feminism has its own voice and it does not ask permission.
The day is observed with events organized by the Ministry of Equality, and the demands include equal pay, an end to domestic violence, and the recognition of women's contributions to the economy.
