Watch the video “No more degrading customs” (No mas puercas costumbres)
Film creator Paulina Romero shared the following about it with me for the SSH blog.
“Since my teenage years, I suffered street harassment in the streets of my country, Mexico. “No more degrading customs” came out from my personal need to denounce it. It’s a shortcut that exposes the patriarchal violence experienced by women in the streets of Mexico, aiming to help eliminate it.”
Paulina studied International Affairs, focusing in women studies and feminism. During her college years, she got involved in activism for women’s rights. Today, she is producing “El Arbol de Las Manzanas”, her first feature documentary about migrant women in New York City.
