Pink Crosses of Juárez
Helen Burgos-Ellis explains the powerful symbolism of the pink crosses in Ciudad Juárez. These crosses serve as memorials placed by families searching for their missing or murdered daughters and relatives. Marking the exact place of death, the pink cross has become an icon of resistance, remembrance, and the ongoing fight for justice in the face of gender-based violence.
