Hundreds of young women have been abducted and murdered with impunity in the past decade in Ciudad Juárez and Chihuahua. V-Day and Amnesty International are joining with the women of Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua and their families to demand the end to impunity and the prevention of further violence against women.

The day will include a discussion on gender violence by Mexican feminist, Marcela Lagarde; an ecumenical remembrance of the victims and honoring of their mothers and families at the Benito Juárez Monument; lunch with music and meals provided by local vendors; a poetry reading by local students from Ciudad Juarez and El Paso; and conclude with a special V-Day benefit performance of V-Day Founder/Playwright Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” performed by Lilia Aragon, Marinitia Escobedo, Laura Flores, Monica Alicia Juarez, Ensler, Sally Field, Jane Fonda, Christine Lahti, and Shiva Rose.
