Message from Amigos de las Mujeres de Juarez:

Casa Amiga always operates close to bankruptcy. They see large numbers of survivors of abuse and run the only secure shelter in the north of Mexico. As the militarisation of the border increases, we know, based on the work of women like Cynthia Cockburn, that violence against women will only increase. The U.S. is giving millions to Mexico for more militarisation, perhaps some of that money could go to deal with the effects of that militarisation. If you know any donors or foundations that can help, please contact Ester at Casa Amiga or Amigos.
