Join the DC Women's Human Rights Action Team on Saturday, December 3 at Dupont Circle to demand justice for the women of Ciudad Juarez.

On March 9 resolutions conveying the U.S. Congress’ sympathy to the families of the nearly 400 young women who have been murdered and abducted in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico since 1993 were introduced in the House and Senate. The goal is to raise public awareness about the tragedy, express Congressional concern, and propose a set of actions to deal with the murders and abductions of these young women.

This weekend the DC Women's Human Rights Action Team is planning a rally in support of this legislation. We are hoping to help raise awareness of the tragic violence against women in Mexico and to ensure that the Mexican authorities seek justice in these cases through our support of the legislation.

¡Ni Una Mas!: End Femicide in Mexico!
Time: 2:30 pm in
Place: Dupont Circle.
