Abstract
Although Ciudad Juárez, a city situated on the USA–Mexico border, has been affected by femicide, drug-trafficking, and other challenges, migrants from Latin America and elsewhere continue to arrive here hoping to seek asylum in the USA. As a photojournalist focusing on issues related to gender, human rights, health, and migration, I travelled to Ciudad Juárez in October, 2022 to document how lack of access to maternal health care is impacting women along their migration route. For many pregnant women and people travelling with children, this gruelling journey puts them at great risk. Despite these dangers, many migrants choose to flee as a way to escape gender-based violence, threats from gangs, or precarious economic situations at home.
