The Gendercide Awareness Project will send its art exhibit to five Mexican cities to confront femicide (increasingly called “feminicide). The visually powerful exhibit uses baby booties to represent the women missing from the world population due to social causes like feminicide. We will present statistics on the human and economic cost of violence against women in Mexico and also bring activists, scholars, and government officials together to discuss solutions.
Feminicide has exploded in Mexico and Latin America, and Mexican feminists and human rights leaders are working to end it.
Each day, ten women in Mexico are killed by their partners, ex-partners, or cartel hit men. The crime now has a name — feminicide, or feminicidio. The per capita rate in Mexico is six times higher than in the US.
The poster below announces our first exhibit at Universidad Iberoamericana in Puebla, @IberodPuebla, with the exhibit title:
¿Dónde están las mujeres? Where are all the women?
The exhibit runs there April 16 – May 28.
#Ni una menos
