A day without women: a vast strike in Mexico
The Intelligence from The Economist 
About this episode
Millions of women will stay home today, protesting against rising levels of violence against them. In the Netherlands, a criminal trial begins in the case of flight MH17, downed over Ukraine in 2014—but none of the defendants will be there. And a repeat of <em>The Mayflower</em>’s journey from 400 years ago, this time with no captain or crew.
