While protesting for justice with hundreds of people following the murders of Keishla Rodr\u00edguez Ortiz and Andrea Ruiz Costas – Alysa Alejandra Soto was transported back to protesting the death of Rosimar Rodr\u00edguez G\u00f3mez just months before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI prepared myself to have to go to the streets again to look for justice. I think that was the biggest feeling I had,\u201d Soto, the founder of feminist organization Cara Al Sol, told Pero Make It Newsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September, Rosimar was found dead days later after she was kidnapped from her home, El Nuevo Dia<\/a><\/strong> reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 1, 26-year-old Keishla was allegedly murdered by boxer F\u00e9lix Verdejo, who she was romantically involved with, Remezcla<\/a><\/strong> reported. Family members said Keishla was pregnant when she was killed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year alone, there have been at least 21 femicides, according to the Puerto Rico Gender Equality Observatory. Last year, six transgender women<\/a><\/strong> were murdered in the U.S. territory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latest issue of Pero Make It Newsy, I spoke to activist Alysa Alejandra Soto, the founder of feminist organization Cara Al Sol, about the recent femicides in Puerto Rico and what the organization is doing to fight gender violence on the island. The organization aims to combat gender-based violence by providing resources and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to create a space that was not only safe for survivors but to educate people because we saw the need for education about this topic,\u201d said Soto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new issue of your favorite Latina-curated newsletter, out today, also features news curated from China and Palestine about women facing state-sanctioned violence in their own countries. There\u2019s also a new book review for readers to check out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
