AN EVENING FOR THE WOMEN OF 

JUAREZ AND CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO

Wednesday, April 6, 2005

Thanks to all of your support Spark raised $4,500 for the following Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico organizations, so that they may continue their efforts to bring a halt to the mysterious disappearances of young women in their communities: 

 

  Centro de Estudios y Taller Laboral (CETLAC): An organization providing training and information to Juarez residents, especially young women who work in maquiladoras, concerning labor problems such as discrimination, occupational health and safety, and legal rights.

Casa Amiga Centro Crisis: An organization offering psychological, legal and medical assistance to women and their families who have suffered from the violence.  

Justicia Para Nuestras Hijas: A Chihuahua city-based organization of mothers, lawyers and friends demanding justice for the disappeared and murdered young women in Chihuahua City and Juarez.  This organization consists of approximately twenty families.  Justicia has sent mothers across the world to testify about their experiences, and assists with recently abducted women by making photocopies of the missing and posting them in public places.
