A beautician by profession and mother of two little girls, María Florencia fought day by day for a better world, against the oppression imposed by patriarchy and capitalism.
"They stole a partner from the boys and girls of the Communist Party; they took a piece from the Sanjorgense feminist militancy", points out a statement by the Las Chuecas feminist organization, a founder of which was Maria Florencia.
It must be noted that femicides in Argentina reached a 10-year high under coronavirus lockdown. According a report published in Buenos Aires Times, feminist organization Mumala recorded at least 213 femicides in the country so far this year.
