Argentina's president announces plan to fight violence against women

Argentine President, Mauricio Macri, has announced a national plan to fight violence against women. 

Mr. Macri said every 37 hours a woman is attacked in Argentina and that education is key to ending deeply rooted cultural patterns of violence. 

The plan, due to start next year, includes creating a network of women's refuges, and money for the electronic tagging of violent men. 

Last year, 235 women were killed in gender violence incidents in Argentina.
