The Mexican border state of Chihuahua and its city Juarez have
become internationally notorious for violence, as drug cartel
battles and official corruption have colluded to produce more
murders annually than in war-torn Afghanistan. Ninety-seven percent
of the killings in Juarez remain unsolved, contributing to a
culture of impunity for perpetrators. In the midst of this climate
of fear, a small group of human rights activists, exemplified by
the Chihuahua lawyer and organizer Lucha Castro, continue to point
fingers at the killers and their official enablers. This is the
story this book tells, rendering in graphic detail the stories of
families ripped apart by disappearances and murders - especially
gender-based violence - and the remarkably brave advocacy,
protests, and investigations of ordinary citizens who turned their
grief into resistance.
