. Together, we chanted, “No Estamos todas. Nos falta Debanhi” and “Señor, señora, no sea indiferente. Se mata a las mujeres en la cara de la gente” . Perhaps the most touching moment was when we all sat down on Avenida Constitución, stopping traffic on the congested street. We paused there because Escobar’s funeral was taking place at a chapel nearby. We grieved with her family. There was silence, tears, and community.
It is scary to write and speak about these issues in a country where perpetrators kill to silence women like me.
