The case of Magdalena, a fictitious name for safety reasons, is a precise portrait of the structural helplessness suffered by indigenous women in Mexico. She has been fighting against all types of violence since she was five years old.
She became pregnant at 16 years old and the father of her daughters hit her so much that she lost the mobility of half of her body. After more than a decade of enduring abuse, in 2019, she decided to leave her home and flee for the third time in search of protection.
