In the past decade, over 400 innocent women factory workers have been murdered in Juarez, Mexico. Filmmaker and activist Barbara Martinez-Jitner has devoted her life to solving these mysterious killings, which Amnesty International has called a “femicide.” Get your campus involved in the fight to save the women of Juarez by hosting Martinez Jitner and screening Bordertown, the Jennifer Lopez film based on her story.

Martinez Jitner first became involved with the women of Juarez when filming her critically acclaimed documentary, La Frontera, which detailed the suffering of the families victimized by the senseless murders. Today, she raises awareness about the crisis to audiences around the country, remaining actively involved in the Juarez community. Partial proceeds from each speech directly benefit the orphans of Juarez, helping to build a school for victims’ children, so by bringing her to campus, your organization will be instrumental in changing lives for the better.
