Mexico: Women Migrants
This powerful gallery by Sean Hawkey focuses on the experiences of women migrants traveling through Mexico in search of a better life. Captured in Juchitán, Oaxaca, the photographs offer an important counter-narrative to the claims made by President Trump and the corporate media in the U.S. who portrayed the migrant caravan as composed solely of men of military age. In contrast, these striking images, exhibited by UN Women, highlight the often-overlooked stories of women migrants—capturing their resilience, strength, and hope as they navigate the dangerous journey. The collection brings attention to the gendered challenges of migration, showcasing the courage of women facing adversity along the way.
