Vivir Quintana, a prominent Mexican singer-songwriter, explores the tragic phenomenon of women convicted for killing abusive partners in her new album. In Mexico, a staggering 90% of murders remain unresolved, and yet women defending themselves frequently face legal ramifications for what is deemed 'excessive use of legitimate force.' Quintana's research into these women's stories reveals the harsh realities of gender violence, societal indifference, and the fight for justice. Her music aims to amplify their voices and raise awareness about their struggles.
