The Hijas de Violencia ("Daughters of Violence") take a stand against widespread sexual harassment -- which usually comes in the form of catcalls, confrontations, and rape -- on the streets of Mexico. It's Pussy Riot for Latina punk rockers who aren't going to take it submissively anymore. Beware, they will shoot you in the face -- with confetti guns. Not everyone is happy with these upstarts and troublemakers out to subvert the patriarchy. Others are liberated by their peaceful resistance. AUDIO
