"Enough!" writes the Mexico City daily La Prensa on the front page of its Monday edition, a day after more than 5,000 women participated in Mexico's first national march against gender violence.

Marches took place in more than 40 cities, including the Mexican capital, where a sizeable crowd protested what they see as government apathy towards widespread violence against women.

Promoters of the national protest day created the Twitter hashtag #MiPrimerAcoso (#MyFirstHarassment,) which was retweeted in several other Latin American countries, prompting more than 50,000 people to share their personal experiences.
