Women in Argentina and further afield have walked out of work in protest at the horrific rape and killing of a teenager.

Lucia Perez, 16, died earlier this month in the city of Mar del Plata.

Two men who left her at a hospital on 8 October, freshly washed and dressed, said she had overdosed on drugs. But doctors found evidence she had been subjected to extreme sexual violence.

A march is planned for 5pm  in Buenos Aires.

Activist groups called on women to wear black when walking out of their places of work for an hour at midday on Wednesday. They are calling the actions Black Wednesday.
