She was Eugenia Pérez: her partner took the life of the renowned teacher

“It is not a discussion that ‘got out of control’. It is not an intimate couple’s problem. It is violence, it is feminicide, it is a life taken away. My cousin left two daughters, two girls who today will have to grow up with the absence of their mother; with questions that no one should answer, with a void that they did not cause. They are also victims, they also carry a wound they did not choose.”
