Through its social media account, the Government of Javier Milei released a video on the occasion of International Women's Day, questioning the "gender ideology," the "woke culture" and the political decisions of the previous Kirchnerist administration regarding the creation of the former Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity.
In this context, it highlighted that in 2024 "femicides" decreased by 20%, although in the narration, done by a female voice, "women's homicides" is mentioned, as appropriate.
"During the last years in the Argentine Republic, the various governments in power promoted that to protect women, it was necessary to create enormous bureaucratic structures in the government with million-dollar budgets, all financed by the work and hard effort of good Argentines and violating the equality before the law enshrined in the National Constitution," the video begins with a voiceover.
Throughout the nearly two-minute publication, images of former Kirchnerist ministers, Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta and Ayelén Mazzina, are interspersed with officials from the current Government of Javier Milei, such as his sister Karina, Sandra Pettovello, and Patricia Bullrich. A photo of the former First Lady, Fabiola Yáñez, also appears.
According to the video, "between 2020 and 2023 the State squandered thousands and thousands of millions of pesos on policies with the so-called gender perspective", also pointing out that "it exceeded spending on Defense or Security in that year and was ten times higher than the budget of the Judiciary".
