Proyecto Lupitas is a heartfelt initiative supporting strong women advocating for their rights and improved living conditions. The project features a collection of distinct, hand-painted ceramic dolls, each symbolizing various causes in their ongoing battle. Every Lupita conveys its representation through micro-stories.
Motivated by protests against femicides and injustice, these dolls celebrate the bravery women display while facing tough situations.
Discover and buy the Lupitas at www.lupitas.art . With each purchase 15% of the revenue goes to Ayuda y Solidaridad con las Niñas de la Calle – Institución de Asistencia Privada, an organization that offers aid and support to vulnerable girls and young women in Mexico.

My Body, My Decision
In a sterile white waiting room, there are 10 gray chairs. Four of those are occupied by a girl accompanied by her mother, a woman of 34 and the other one is 45 years old. They all look at each other in silence. Each one thinks that the other is there for a reason different from theirs. A nurse comes out from her cubicle and says in a loud voice: Adela Martinez? The 34-year-old stands up and goes to the room which says on the door: Dr. Lopez.
On the desk in the room there are lots of pamphlets that explain how an abortion works. The 13-year-old stands up and takes one. Her mother says:
–Read that really closely, because that way you’ll know what they’re going to do to you.
The girl responds: will it hurt?
The 45-year old says:
–No. You’re going to be fine.
