La Lucha/The fight and Vida y Muerte/Life and Death are the two predominant themes that emerged from a participatory arts-based project using photo elicitation with 8 women human rights defenders in Tijuana, at the US/Mexican borderlands. The researcher facilitated this project in 2024 as part of her PhD research with human rights defenders in collaboration with Alma Migrante, a Mexican civil society organisation (CSO) which supports human rights defenders working within the context of mobility in the region. Alma Migrante provides legal advice as well as designs and delivers community strategies to protect human rights defenders working with migrants in the Baja California Mexico region. In Tijuana and Mexicali, these women defenders are dedicated to safeguarding the rights of migrants and asylum seekers, who frequently seek refuge in the United States.
