An eerie photo of a young woman standing alone on the edge of a dark deserted highway has come to symbolize this growing crisis in Mexico- the disappearance and murder of women. It sparked a fire among women and activists in a country where women’s disappearances and murders are often downplayed or ignored altogether. This woman had a bright future ahead of her and yet like thousands of others, her life was cut short. But because of this photo, her case is providing hope and solace to a  nation of women living in fear.

Her name is Debanhi Escobar.

This is her story.
