Catalino Santoyo Valencia

Catalino Santoyo Valencia is a 43-year-old father and small-scale lime producer from the community of Las Bateas in Michoacán, Mexico. Recently, he has faced the devastating impact of violence from organized crime, particularly the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), which has forced him and his family to flee their home. As he witnesses the destruction of his lime orchards and the abandonment of his community, Catalino embodies the struggle of many displaced families seeking safety amidst escalating violence.
