Scars that Shield

 

SCARS THAT SHIELD

Colombia has one of the highest numbers of acid attacks in the world. Gina Potes was one of the first women to denounce this brutal form of violence 20 years ago. Along with fellow survivor Patricia Espitia, they use their scars as a tool to help other women who've suffered this type of violence. This video is part of a larger investigative project about femicides and gender violence all over Latin America. Click on the button below to explore the project.
