En Camino is a journey from Mexico City to Mérida. It collects the testimonies of many women and activists. Through their experiences and emotions we face a fundamental question: what does it mean to be a woman in Mexico?

The answer is plural and leads us to the themes of economic exploitation; trafficking in persons; lack of protection by institutions; inequality in economic, educational, sexual and reproductive rights; the cultural meaning of the word love; sexual and psychological violence.In the texture of their faces, the colours of Mexico, its landscapes, its skies and clouds – because looking at the sky is the fundamental gesture to open new horizons – the women tell us the struggle for the right to be able to say “no”.
