13 de Abril
(By Mary)
"La luna blanca de Abril, en el barrio de Villa Urquiza;
Fue testigo de un alma jóven reducida a las cenizas.
Los ojos de una muchacha, se abrieron hacia el azul cielo;
Volaron con sus alas, esa noche de desvelo.
Su cuerpo fue cubierto
Bajo el velo de la muerte.
Y el asesino, suelto
Por una Justicia inerte.
Hoy los ángeles claman al pueblo y a los Jueces de la Tierra;
Por un fallo digno y justo
Por la vida de Micaela"
3 años de un femicido
Sin condena
Emmily Rodrigues. 🕯
Poema al triple femicidio de Florencio Varela
By Mary
"Asomábanse a la vida
Tres jovenes risueñas
Por los barrios de Flores
Embarrados de miseria.
Un padre entre las rejas
Una madre distraida
Un futuro muy incierto
Y anbiciones desmedidas.
Quince abriles ofrecías
Sobre una esquina blanca
Ingenua de los peligros
Que la calle acechaba.
El abanicos de billetes
Que jactanciosa enseñabas
Fueron el detonante
Para la ira del hampa.
Las tres flores esa noche
subieron a una carroza blanca
las llevaron a Florencio
Y calleron en la trampa.
Arrogante juventud
Que en el momento equivocado
Dobló el carro de quinceañera
Hacia el triste epitafio:
"Aquí yacen las flores de Flores, marchitas y mutiladas, justicia en su memoria, para Brenda, Morena y Lara"
Asesinó a su vecina prendiéndole fuego la casa mientras dormía.

#NiUnaMenos
03.06.17
The day after my birthday, I switched gears and went to a protest here in Córdoba known as “Ni Una Menos”. Ni Una Menos started in 2015 in Argentina as a feminist movement against the machismo culture and gendered violence that characterizes a lot of Latin America. After a series of brutal murders or “femicides” had been publicized, a group of female artists, journalists, and academics got together to speak up against this widespread violence. Ni Una Menos means “Not One Less”, as in not one less woman/mother/schoolgirl in the world. It’s said that a woman dies every 18 hours here due to gendered violence.
The reason I know so much about it isn’t just because I’m a year older and wiser; I actually ran a workshop about the march for the other volunteers here on Friday! Then on Saturday a group of us met up, painted our faces with logos and slogans and participated in the march. We walked with two banners in hand that were made by the girls at CESAM (the correctional facility for young woman where we work) as they aren’t able to protest for themselves. We found out some heartbreaking news from our coordinator in that one of their former guards at CESAM, a mother of 4, was killed by her partner earlier this week. She had been reported missing and was found the night before the protest. It was all the more difficult to be there, and perhaps made it all the more important.

Justice for Paola Itzel, Alessa and all the names we don’t know.
