  • Missing people posters are found across Tijuana, as thousands of migrants disappear each year. Some die on their journey across Mexico, drowned in rivers, or of dehydration in deserts, or in the many accidents on freight trains but many are killed by organised crime groups when they are kidnapped and ransom money isn't paid. Sex-related murder of women, known as femicides, is also common.

  • Thousands of people are stuck at an informal camp of asylum seekers at El Chaparral, Tijuana, Mexico, many of them have been waiting for their petition for asylum to be heard for months. Most of the people at the camp are from Central America and Haiti, the majority from Honduras, but many are also fleeing violence in Guerrero and Michoacan in Mexico. For many the journey to get here was extremely hazardous, crossing Mexico on the top of La Bestia, the train also known as El Tren de la Muerte. Many have been kidnapped and extorted by organised crime groups, and the dangers in the unpoliced camp are also very high, particularly for girls and women.

  • Bishop Felipe Ruiz of the Methodist Church of Mexico walks through the El Chaparral camp of asylum seekers in Tijuana at the US border. The Methodist Church has provided assistance to up to 50,000 people a year recently. When asked why they do this he replies "when I was hungry you fed me, when I was naked you clothed me - these are biblical instructions".

  • An evangelical church group from San Diego, USA, visits the El Chaparral camp of asylum seekers in Tijuana, Mexico. While church members lays out a table of food brought by the group, and a queue of hungry migrants forms behind it, a male pastor shouts prayers excitedly into a loudspeaker and another lays his hands on women 'to heal them'. Once lengthy prayers are said, food is served. Church groups come to the camp every day, some require a lot of attention and participation from the migrants than others before they serve them food, others quickly bless the food and distribute it. For some the long services are a welcome distraction, and they provide spiritual sustenance in a desperate situation.

  • Fanny Ruiz, San Pedro Sula<br />
<br />
Fanny’s son, Jorge Alexander, joined the migrant caravan, against her will, and got to the US border at Tijuana. One night, he was lured into a house with two other Honduran boys, Jorge Alexander and one other were tortured and killed, the third boy escaped. This follows months of hate speech in the media in Mexico and the US, against migrants, and the killings are being treated as hate crimes.<br />
<br />
"My name is Fanny Ruiz. When I was four years old my father killed my mother. My father was sent to prison for a while. Then my brother was killed. My next brother was disappeared, we never saw him again. Then my third brother was killed. Of the six brothers and sisters that we were, just us three girls are alive now. <br />
<br />
Thank God I'm still alive, to carry on looking after my children, but it's not great having to hide in your own country so that nothing happens to you. <br />
<br />
All girls and women in this country are in a dangerous position, many of us are scared to go out in case we get followed and raped and killed.<br />
<br />
I have shrapnel all over me, here in my forehead, in my back, my legs, my breasts. I was shot 13 times, they were trying to kill me. Thank God, I am still here, alive to look after my kids.<br />
<br />
I have worked in lots of things to take care of my children: gardening, farming, building construction, flooring, cooking. I’m good with money, I work hard, I don’t have any vices, but that's not enough."<br />
<br />
Fanny is pictured with two of her children in the cemetery, at the grave they prepared to bury Jorge Alexander while they were waiting for the repatriation of his body.
