When Elizabeth Warren ended her bid for president, she spoke to campaign staff and signed off with a line that connected the Democratic senator from Massachusetts to one of the most famous politicians in the history of her state, Ted Kennedy.

Countless thousands of women and girls across Mexico have joined a historic strike to protest against the country's startling rates of gender-based violence – and the government's failure to respond to the crisis in which more than ten women are murdered every day.

The strike sent a clear message to Mexican society, said Sandra Reyes, 33, a biologist at the National Cancer Institute, who was one of at least 80,000 people who joined the country's largest ever women's march on Sunday.
