Puerto Rico: students' aggression clouds Women's Day events http://www.ww4report.com/node/9649

A coalition of Puerto Rican feminist organizations held a march in San Juan on March 8, International Women's Day, from the Labor Department building to the Río Piedras campus of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR), the site of months of student protests against an $800 tuition surcharge. The marchers held a rally when they reached the campus, with an artistic presentation and various speeches. Adriana Mulero, a leader in the student protests, charged that conservative governor Luis Fortuño had worked against women's rights with his austerity program, which she had left many women heads of households without jobs. She also dismissed "Man's Promise," a program Fortuño has promoted as a way to end domestic violence, as reinforcing male stereotypes.
