Venezuelan Women March on Caracas Against 'Repression'

(CARACAS) — Women banged on pans and some stripped off their white shirts Saturday as they protested Venezuela's socialist government in an event the opposition billed as a "women's march against repression." As they marched, local media carried a video showing people toppling a statue of the late President Hugo Chavez the day before in the western state of Zulia.

Thousands of women on Saturday took over some main streets in the wealthy eastern part of the city.
