Women in Mexico, from bank executives to housekeepers, went on strike today to protest the country's high rate of violence against women and girls.

In Pakistan, women took to the streets despite attacks from fundamentalists. And, fed up with gender-based violence and murders, Mexican women staged a nationwide strike on International Women's Day.

"They have the right to be searched for, and we have the right to search for them," says the mother of a man who has been missing since 2013. Relatives say the government does little to help.

The death of a 7-year-old girl has fueled outrage over the perils of being female in Mexico, where there is a high rate of crimes against women.

Mexicans fleeing what they call unprecedented violence say the U.S. is rushing to send them back to Mexico without granting them due process to present their asylum claims.

Pressured by the Trump administration, the Mexican government is moving to curb migration through its territory into the United States.

Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador has been trying to unload his presidential plane, preferring to make a show of flying commercial. With no takers, he'll now raffle it off.

Haitians spent the 10th anniversary of the 7.0 earthquake remembering the more than 100,000 people who were killed. Amid the solemn services, there were calls for political unity.

The U.N. and Vatican have tried to broker talks between Haiti's president and the opposition. Protesters are on holiday break, but promise to go back onto the streets on New Year's Day.

Vanilla, which has grown and exported to the world for centuries, may not be produced in Mexico much longer. Violence and robberies are the latest threat to this very profitable crop.
