The new hall will also pay tribute to Juana Azurduy, Alfonsina Storni, Mercedes Sosa, Cecilia Grierson, the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and other women who stood out in the history of this South American nation.

The action was considered a provocation as it took place while thousands of people were marching for International Women’s Day.
