KW: In addition to this wonderful presentation, I heard that the woman’s a cappella group, Willow, will be performing to welcome the attendees. Beautiful music, and a chance to see Judy Sanford-Guise, my friend and PeaceSmiths colleague, perform.
My Life Under the Gun
with Lydia Cacho, Mexican journalist
Wednesday, March 11, 7:30 p.m.
Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock
Shelter Rock Road, Manhasset
Mexican journalist Lydia Cacho, who also runs a shelter for battered women and children in Cancun, has exposed a web of business and political elites behind a child pornography ring there. She has been detained and harassed by authorities, received numerous death threats and survived to win international human rights prizes from Amnesty International, UNESCO and the U.S. State Department. Since her expose the list of her enemies has grown to include some of the most powerful men in Mexico. In the last eight years at least 21 reporters in Mexico have been killed. Her international visibility has kept Cacho alive.
