El Día Después: Nosotras

Nine women are murdered every day in Mexico. According to official statistics, six out of every ten women have experienced violence at some point in their lives. Nosotras [Us] addresses various levels of violence against women, starting with microaggressions, which we have normalized. It also includes testimonies from female survivors of violence, as well as from family members of victims of femicide. The documentary—filmed in Mexico City, Chihuahua, and Ciudad Juárez— it is part of the campaign “Femicidios en México” [“Femicides in Mexico”].
