Arussi Unda helped organize the National Women's Strike on March 9, 2020, in Mexico, to protest and raise awareness of the increasing violence faced by women across the country. This occurred the day after International Women's Day.
Unda was on the list of the BBC's 100 Women announced on 23 November 2020.
