Argentina is in shock after the remains of Agostina Vega, 14, were found in Córdoba on Saturday, and the body of Dulce Candia, 17, was discovered in Misiones on Thursday. Both had been missing for several days in separate cases, and evidence shows they were murdered and disposed of.
The two cases took place just days ahead of the Ni Una Menos march against femicides, carried out every June 3 since 2015 to demand justice for the victims.
Agostina had been missing for a week and Dulce for 11 days before their bodies were found. Although investigations on their murders are ongoing, they appear to be new additions to the over 80 femicide cases registered this year by feminist observatory Ahora que sí nos ven.
“Justice for Agostina, for Dulce, for all of us,” the Ni Una Menos organization wrote in an Instagram post calling for a march on Wednesday across the country.
