After decades of living in constant fear, the women of Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico have finally found their savior from the horrific femicide that has been occurring in their town. On Aug. 28 and 29, “Diana, The Hunter” killed two city bus drivers to avenge the deaths of these innocent women.

Ciudad Juarez gained international notoriety in the late 1990s and early 2000s for the murders of hundreds of women. According to an Amnesty International report, 370 young women and girls were killed in Ciudad Juarez between 1993 and 2005.

... For years, the municipal and state authorities have tried to convince people that they resolved the problem, but this could not be farther from reality. Hundreds of disappearances still remained unsolved and some even have yet to be investigated. The authorities have not served any justice since the murders began two decades ago. Now “Diana, the Hunter” is taking matters into her own hands.

Her murders of the two city bus drivers were crimes of passion, justice or revenge. It is painfully clear what the murders represent to the Mexican people. They are a concrete symbol that justice will be served.
