The Reform
The so-called anti-abortion law was approved in March 2019 in the state of Nuevo León, México. It was done unusually quickly and amidst protests. However, this constitutional reform, which alleges to protect life from its conception and through natural death, is really part of a bigger scheme: one created by conservative groups, and that encompasses the whole country, not just the northern state. Ironically, political and religious interests intertwine with the media’s misinformation to further strengthen local feminist groups.

Mención honorífica
I was born in Monterrey, México, in 1987. I have a BA in Humanistic studies, and worked for seven years as a culture and entertainment reporter for different media outlets. The following two years I joined a production company, until I started working on my own projects. I am currently continuing the investigation I started for “The Reform”, with the intention of making it a long feature. At the same time, I am halfway through a documentary about flamenco in México.
