Verónica Castillo reflects on the significance of the color red in The Tree of Death, symbolizing both blood and a call to stop and reflect on the violence against women. She urges society to teach boys to respect women, help young people break cycles of violence, and empower girls to defend themselves and speak out against abuse. For her, red is a powerful reminder to pause, confront injustice, and change a way of life that continues to harm women and families.
