Write for Rights - Wendy
Wendy, a Mexican childcare worker and activist, attended a march organised by feminist collectives in Cancún to demand justice for the murder of a woman known as Alexis. But when a group of demonstrators began pulling down and burning some wooden barriers, police fired shots into the air and, some say, into the crowd. Later, Wendy discovered she had bullet wounds in her leg and vulva. Those suspected of criminal responsibility for her shooting have not been brought to justice. Undeterred, Wendy set up a collective with other women who were assaulted during the protest. “I will never let 9N be forgotten,” she says. “I will continue to raise my voice and defend the human rights of myself and my partners in struggle.” I did camera work for this project.
