The photo above ended up being the central image in the poster. It shows a woman holding a mirror with ‘somos violadores’ (‘we are rapists’) written across it.

Women spontaneously organized this action when report after report surfaced that sexual assault was being systematically used by police as one of their tactics to destroy the movement. Women stood in front of advancing squads of riot police and forced them to look into mirrors with messages about sexual assault written across their own reflections.

Incredible.
All of the above.
