Translation: [Warning: Explicit language, mentions of rape and murder]
“Stop profiting with our pain. And if you see me in black and I’m so radical and I burn and break and make a fucking mess in this city, What is your fucking problem? My daughter was killed! And I’m not a corporate, I don’t need a drum, I don’t need a fucking political party to represent me. I represent myself and withouth a microphone.
I’m a mother , my daughter was killed, and yes I am an empowered mother, and feminist! I am sick of this, I have all the right to burn and break. I’m not going to ask anybody for permission because I’m breaking for my daughter.
And who wants to break, break, and who wants to burn, burn and who don’t, DON’T DISTURB US!
Because before they killed my daughter they killed many women
AND HOW WHERE WE ALL? Very comfortable at home, crying and embroidering, no more sir! It’s over!
We already broke the silence.
And we won’t let them do a damn circus of our pain. And if you are going to talk, talk of all the woman. Women who were raped and those who were abused by teachers and public servants, women that were thrown acid on them.
Talk about the girls who are raped in their cribs, by their own fathers. And their families remain silent because their Catholic religion does not allow them.
Mother of María de Jesús Jaime Zamudio, I demand justice for me, for my family and for my daughter.
And for all the ones that nobody names. Because every day they kill one and another and another.
And I have not been able to solve my daughter’s case and then one, ten, one hundred, a thousand more cases have arrived”.
[The fragment presented is by Yesenia Zamudio, mother of María de Jesús Jaime Zamudio, an IPN student murdered in 2016.
The case has been unpunished for four years. Yesenia, along with other mothers of victims, are organized from Ni Una menos México to provide help to family members and orphans of feminicide.]
