In Mexico gender-based violence is a structural crisis with 10 women murdered daily, one a minor. Girls, in particular, are in an extremely vulnerable position. Simply because they are female, they are twice as likely to experience violence as boys.
The idea tells the story of a girl who, in order to escape daily violence and harassment, decides to disguise herself as a boy. This decision reflects a harsh reality in Mexico, where girls are twice as likely to experience violence compared to boys.
