The Women’s Center and DePaul University community will remember the missing and dead women of Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico in a silent procession and candlelight vigil to be held Oct. 1, on the Quad, located south of West Fullerton Ave., on the Lincoln Park Campus, beginning at 6 p.m.

“Ni Una Mas: Remembering the Missing Women of Juarez” opens at 6 p.m. with an address by Lu Rocha, a domestic violence activist and DePaul graduate, in the Schmitt Academic Center (SAC), 2320 N. Kenmore Ave., Room 161. Rocha has helped establish domestic violence programs around the world and has spoken publically about the killings in Ciudad Juarez for the past five years.

At 7:15 p.m. a silent procession of supporters will march from SAC to the Quad, and at 7:30 p.m. the candlelight vigil will take place.

Since 1993, international attention has been focused on the murder of women in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua. More than 450 women are still missing. The vigil is aimed at making various Chicago communities more aware of the need for advocacy and action.
