A Conference in Sussex University

This is the translation I did for the presentation made by journalist and human rights activist Sara Lovera. She delivered a conference on the situation of women rights and the incidence of violence towards women in Mexico. The talk took place on November the 15th, 2006 and was jointly organized by the Mexican Students Association in Sussex and the Centre for Gender Studies of the University of Sussex.
