More than 400 women from the Mexican border town of Juarez have been kidnapped, raped and brutally murdered over the past 15 years. The crimes remain unsolved. Young women and their families are living in fear, wondering who will be the next victim.In an effort to help stop the killing, a group of students from the Sturm College of Law have joined Amnesty International’s efforts to educate the public about what is going on in Juarez. Today at 7 p.m., Amnesty International will host two guest speakers who will discuss the killings in Juarez. The event is open to the public and is being held in the law building. Veronica Leyva, a long time activist in Ciudad Juarez, and Jennifer Miller, a representative of the Mexico Solidarity Network, will speak about the influence of globalization and economic policies on these femicides.Last week, Nicole Salamander, Amnesty International events co-chair, screened a documentary to a handful of students. The video, “SeCB1orita Extraviada, Missing Young Woman,” was filled with graphic testimonies from women who escaped their tormentors and from families of other young women who disappeared and were later found buried in the desert. Salamander is hoping that this video has sparked interest on campus and that those who attended the screening will talk about it to their friends and pass on the story of the women from Juarez.For more information about the Juarez women, see “The Disappearing Women of Juarez” online at http://rwor.org/a/v24/1161-1170/1166/juarez.htm.
