In May 2006, following a police crackdown on protests by a peasant organization in San Salvador Atenco, Mexico, over 45 women were arrested without explanation and dozens were subjected to physical, psychological, and sexual violence by the police. More than 4 years later, none of the officials responsible for the abuse have been prosecuted.
These women are still waiting for justice. Let us prove that we have not forgotten about them. Help us demand accountability from the Mexican government!
We will be silent no more!
Join us and let the Mexican government know we demand appropriate action on behalf of the Women of Atenco.
