Rebecca, aged one, sits on the bottom bunk, which she shares with her mother, Sandra, and all their worldly possessions in a dormitory of 40 women and children in an Auberge in Ixtapec, Mexico. They lived in El Salvador, but left because the violence caused by the marabuntas (aka ‘maras’ a form of gang originating in the United States which spread to Central America). Sandra’s mother had a store and the mara was demanding money and when they refused then they killed one of her brothers and took her other brother. Once Sandra became pregnant she decided she could no longer live with the violence in El Salvador and decided to flee for their safety. They are not legally allowed to be in Mexico so they are take refuge in this Auberge until they receive legal documents to be in Mexico.
