8 de Marzo Dia Internacional de las Mujeres -- Destestamos el Machismo
Translation: 
March 8th International Women's Day -- we hate machismo (strong or aggressive masculine pride; a similar phrase in English is toxic masculinity)
Description: 

Pictures of different womens' breasts in grid form. The letters highlighted in the word “Destestamos” spell out “teta,” a colloquial term for breasts. Machismo, a stereotype that emphasizes hypermasculinity and has been associated with the Latin American male, was a legacy of the Conquest of the Spanish conquistadores and their interpretation of and reaction to the indigenous two-spirit or LGBTQI+ individuals.
