The Glorieta de las mujeres que luchan is a circular intersection on Paseo de la Reforma distinguished by a purple steel sculpture of a woman with her left fist raised in the air. This space occupies the former location of a long-standing bronze statue of Christopher Columbus. In October twenty-twenty, the city government removed the Columbus monument, citing the need for restoration. The plinth remained vacant until September twenty-twenty-one, when feminist collectives and families of victims of gender-based violence reclaimed the site.
