At Ciudad Juárez, Mexico's assembly and garment factories, known locally as maquiladoras, murders, rapes, and kidnappings have long plagued the factories' thousands of female workers. In 2011 the New Statesmen reported that local Juárez paper El Diario put the total number of murdered women at 878, but residents say the actual number is in the thousands. Now a woman calling herself the "Huntress of Bus Drivers" is out to do her part to curb the violence.
