Feminicides in Mexico

Last year at least 258 women and girls were murdered in the State of México, surrounding the capital. 26 years old Carolina Hernández Sánchez was one of them. Twelve days after disappearing, her body was found with signs of torture and sexual abuse. Carolina lived with her sons, brothers and father in Ecatepec, a municipality strongly affected by poverty and violence. In a reportage (in Spanish) published by El País I’m telling the story about the many feminicides there, together with photos by Alfredo Durante.
