What is Mexico without the women who have been born in this land? Sangre de mi Sangre is a feminist performance video that confronts the often invisible epidemic of violence against women in Mexico. Femicide, the leading cause of death for women aged 19 to 44 worldwide, is a brutal reality that steals not only lives but also the identities, stories, and dreams of countless women. These losses extend beyond the moment of murder, permeating the media and society, where victims are frequently blamed for their own deaths, and perpetrators enjoy impunity.

In Mexico, the staggering rate of femicide is compounded by a justice system that fails women. An estimated 90-97% of femicide cases end in impunity, with only a fraction of the 7,246 recorded femicides in the last decade resulting in convictions. This epidemic of gender-based violence is not merely a physical manifestation; it infiltrates the social fabric, rendering the violence invisible.

Femicide is not just an act of an individual; it is perpetuated by a state justice system that covers up and effectively allows these crimes to continue. Investigations are often marred by a lack of gender perspective, leading to the misclassification of murders as suicides or accidents. The negligence of prosecutor's offices results in due process violations, re-victimization, and media delegitimization, while institutional failures lead to preventable femicides.

Despite official narratives, the reality is a severe femicide crisis, where the Judiciary fails to ensure access to justice for women, girls, and adolescents. The lack of transparency in femicide sentencing and the prevailing impunity are glaring issues that demand government accountability.

"Sangre de mi Sangre" is a call to action, urging municipal, state, and federal authorities to promote and implement effective measures to guarantee the right of women, girls, and adolescents to live free from violence. In a country where women are being murdered, and their killers walk free, this performance video demands that the silence ends, and justice prevails.

Taken inside the bathroom of Mexican feminist writer Rosa Nissan, this photograph came after a chance meeting in an elevator that led to us reading the poems on her walls together. The poem, painted by Nissan herself, is by Efraín Bartolomé, turning the space into a sanctuary of words and resistance.
