[Music]

the first a woman run over in the

street with blows bleeding in the second

scene a man runs away from the scene

this man who caused his injuries his

her husband

the scene is crying to heaven with

the hands linked asking God

that he was allowed to walk again

walk and your life to help others

women of today has fulfilled my word

fully

Many know my story but never

I ‘ve told him

I thank the terex team for giving me the

opportunity because I know that through

she

I hope that many women

find the piece to be able to live

free of violence

I’ll talk to them reaches the

point

and like that violence

by azares of destiny to Ciudad Juarez

chihuahua and I met a man who

first he showed himself to me very kind

friendly cordial and affectionate and

respectful a few months

fondling me with the astana dwell

Medel does not spend much time when he

He asked for my hand and I thought it was the

right person for me

I accepted and I got married

it did not take long for him to see

his signs of violence

the first was the day that we

they delivered the wedding invitations

That day I was very happy and I went

for the box you stop some invitations

and I went to his office so he could

distribute them to your family and your

friends when he starts reading the

invitation starts screaming and it gets

as I had never seen him tell me

that if I did not realize that it was not

he had commanded take

invitations breaks it into pieces and I

he throws them in the face

I was so scared that really

believe me I could not move or say

nothing just look at it and the a few

minutes he answered me

excuse me viviana is that I’m so

stressed by the organization of the

I do not know what happened to me

I promise you queen that I will never go back to

occur

he hugged me and gave me a kiss and we left

to eat this the first year of married

we live it in my mother-in-law’s house

she supported the reactions of her

son thing that I never understood they went away

making more and more present these

signs of violence until a

day that I wanted to go out with my friends

and I started fixing myself in the house and

then he arrives and tells me why you

you arrange so much is that I’m going to go out

have breakfast and I want to get ready pretty

I do not know which part you do not understand, you do not know

You must drink pretty for anyone who is not

there is for me

or or tell me at once your claim is

all you men chihuahua

turn to see why if that is your

claim

things are going to be very ugly for

you

days later I started to stop

make up because he said it in a way

that I knew they were going to put on

ugly things

some days passed and these friends

they were invited because they realized

that something was not right with me and

they wanted to get distracted a bit and always

there was an opportunity for me

I left my mother-in-law’s house and

they had space for me it made me

easy to go out for a coffee when

he came to the house and the first thing that

says who do you think you are for

leave my house at the time that you

want to wherever you want without asking

permission to my house he never asked

permission to my dad and my mom that is me

you are provoking notes today causing

just that I did not know I had to

ask permission

now those from now on are going to

do as a rule for you to go

understanding and then there is no

surprises and I did not get mad and have to

do things because you do not understand not

can go outside without my permission if

you go to the store you have to tell me what

you are going to buy what you want it for and

how much do you need to go home to your

mom

you have to inform me you go to your house

friends

I want to know who is coming for you where

you go

where can I locate you and at what times

you are going back

I think that this exercise

many women in mexico we are

living or have lived it can only

live every time a woman allows

they get into their way of life so simple

what is doing the things that we

We consider that we are well

we are adults is only assuming your

life with another man does not see her sad and

those samples

when you begin to yield to denote

fear

they know they have and they start

do bigger things

before coming to physical violence

you go through psychological violence and

economic

one of the things that marked me

they remind me every day because I do

my job because in a meeting with

my friends in a race is being

watching soccer

these these couples that we met

at that time the roast meat is over

and they asked then to arrive the tread

he tells me he brings a slice and I

I had to do it immediately because

I had to do it

consciously I felt that there

that do things fast so you do not

wet me up the steps on death

front of everybody tells me ‘you’re

stupid or you have not realized that

it’s cold

I’m not stupid, it’s just cold

I tell my story because I know what a

woman lives and passes in mexico is

happening of every three women in the world

one is experiencing violence so the

theme for more simple than we want

see express what happens in these

women and their children when I decided

even having the terror demonstrate what

I felt and asked for a divorce

day when I arrived with the demand for

divorce the hit and left me shot

and although you do not believe it, there is no day

that does not hit the sky and I thank

god because thanks to that I have dedicated to

save many women and help them and

accessible that violence is not

tolerable is permissible in a time and

they are not alone women

live violence they do not need the

they judge they need to be told no

they are alone

today thanks to this experience and more

of 20 years that I have working

on the topic of intrafamily violence

I could have a civil organization without

for profit that is called by the

mexico that saw us born and I did it with

own resources to thank God

that every day gives me strength

of getting up and that every time it sounds

my phone

45 in the morning there is another woman who

he also responds to me and we can

answer these women together

we need to in Mexico

I have a 25-year-old son who did not come

today because for me this is very difficult

I had never counted it and I tried not to

cry but it is something that surpasses and

understanding

when I decided to form this organization

in Mexico

sometimes you have to prove first that

this organization and get him injected

money

I have seen many women who separate

out of the places where I give

empowerment conferences of the

women and they have told me that my words

have helped so that these women no longer

live violence

so my son and I decided to make a

couple of years to sell the only good that

we had our country house here in

villa de santiago and some vans and

with that money make a campaign to

national level to eradicate the

violence against these women know that

we are achieving it

I would like to tell you more things but only

I want to close by thanking everyone

team of tête x that the whole course

of my training was never possible

stop crying and still back all the

dani team knows the great effort that

is equated and tell you these things

I appreciate the opportunity again

training and the space they give me

so that other women know that

they are alone and that there are many women

that we are living from here today

today for here I dedicate this talk

to women who are living

intrafamily violence and memory

babies girls young children and women

and older women who have

died in the pain of his silence to

they and for them

my love my work and my

recognition

thank you very much
