We are often told stories where the powerless are ignored, marginalized, or further victimized by those actors who hold social, economic, and political power. However, every once in a while, the Davids win the fights against the Goliaths. Such is the case of Inés Fernández, a Me’phaa Indigenous woman from the mountains of rural Guerrero, Mexico. After being abused by Mexican soldiers, Inés managed to take her case to the highest court in the region—the Inter-American Court of Human Rights—and emerge successful. Her unremitting quest for justice took her far beyond the town limits of Ayutla; she was able to tell her story of violence—and resistance—before some of the most important legal decision-makers in Latin America. A woman of small stature and few words, Inés represents fuerza (strength) and lucha (struggle) for her rights and the rights of other women fighting for a life free from violence in rural Mexico. Now, she dedicates her life to supporting other Indigenous women resist and report gender-based violence. This chapter documents Inés’ story of resistance and ongoing violence, as she told it to Julia Zulver over a series of long-form interviews.
