Susana Chávez

poet

Susana Chávez was a Mexican poet and activist known for her powerful condemnation of gender-based violence, particularly in the context of the femicides occurring in Ciudad Juárez. Her famous phrase 'Ni una menos' ('Not one less') became a rallying cry for the feminist movement in Latin America, promoting awareness and action against the systemic violence faced by women. Tragically, Chávez was murdered in 2011, which amplified her message and the movement she inspired, leading to significant protests and advocacy efforts across the region.
