On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we're discuss coverage of the protests against gender-based violence and femicide in Mexico. Last year, more than 3700 women were violently killed. 969 cases were classified as femicides, which is defined as the violent death of a woman because of her gender. 

Later in the show, we'll focus on the ongoing violence against Asian Americans, from physical attacks against elders in the Bay Area to the shootings in Atlanta, which left six Asian women dead. On Thursday, the House held a hearing to discuss the history of racism and xenophobia against Asian Americans, which dates back to the 19th century.
