STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!!!
JUSTICE IN JUAREZ!
More than 400 women have been abducted and murdered since 1993 in Ciudad Juárez and Chihuahua, Mexico, bordering El Paso, Texas just over the Rio Grande. In a significant number of cases, the brutality with which the assailants abduct and murder the women goes further than the act of killing. Many of the women are held captive for several days and subjected to humiliation, torture and the most horrific sexual violence before dying, mostly as a result of asphyxiation caused by strangulation or from being beaten. The families of the victims have refused to be quite about the needless loss of their loved ones and continue, alongside activist from across the world, to seek justice and solutions to the issue of femicide.
