Description
Abril, Ingrid, Fátima. It’d take seven more names to get to 10—the average number of women killed daily in Mexico.

EQUIS Justice for Women’s Ana Pecova talks with AS/COA’s Carin Zissis about why Mexican institutions have failed to stop rising femicide, as well as the changes needed to turn the tide.
