A Vital Matters Perspective: NAFTA and the Neglect of Women’s Rights
NAFTA and the Neglect of Women’s Rights
In this video, artist Judithe Hernández shares her shock at discovering the ongoing murders of women in Ciudad Juárez, a tragedy largely ignored by both the Mexican and U.S. governments. Learning about the violence in 2007, Hernández committed to using her art to raise awareness and support families seeking justice. She criticizes the Mexican government’s inaction and questions why the deaths of these young girls receive less concern than if they were American. Her work continues to advocate for visibility and accountability.
