“I wanted the best for women”: Marisol Cuadras’ mother

The cries and protests of Lucero Marisol Cuadras, a feminist murdered Thursday in Sonora, were not to promulgate violence. Her cries were to demand a stop to the abuses against the woman, her mother said after learning of the murder of her daughter in front of the Municipal Palace of Guaymas. “I am one more mother who has lost in a demonstration the most important thing you can have in this life, a son. I am the mother of yet another victim. Know that it was nothing bad that can be said, everyone and everyone who was with her as a friend in this short span of her life, knew that she was a healthy woman, with dreams, with a whole life ahead of her,” she said. Yes, it’s true, he wanted to raise his voice and demonstrate. Yes, it is true, and that does not give the right to judge. It was not violence that he promulgated, what he shouted was only (for) a better world for women, for the planet. Death but violence against women, against son, daughter, father, sister, brother,” he reproached. Read more: They don’t stop!
