Amnesty International Women of Atenco Rally March 6, 2009

Join us and tell the Mexican Government we will not remain silent until the Women of Atenco receive justice!

In May 2006, following a police crackdown on protests by a peasant ogranization in San Salvador Atenco, Mexico, over 45 women were arrested without explanation, dozens were subjected to physical, psychological and sexual violence by the police. More than 2 years later, none of the officials responsible for their abuse have been prosecuted.

Join us and our coalition partners at the Mexican Consulate in Chicago to demand justice and stop violence against women!
