Norma – A Quest for Justice

Brigitte Leoni, Mexique, 2024, doc, 67’, vo st angl
This documentary tells the story of Norma Andrade, a Mexican mother, who became a human rights activist as she tried to bring to justice the perpetrators of the 2001 murder of her daughter in Ciudad Juárez. After 23 years of struggle, her case is now before the Inter-American Court. This will be her first and only chance to get a trial, and the second femicide case examined by the Court since 2019.
The screening will be followed by a panel of experts discussing the role of international human rights and legal mechanisms in addressing femicides and ensuring justice for the victims.
The screening is organised in partnership with the Kofi Annan Foundation, UN Women, Festival FILMAR en América Latina, The Edelstam Foundation and thanks to the support of Spotlight Initiative and the Permanent Mission of Belgium to the United Nations in Geneva.
