Rebeca Lane is spitting verses in the name of feminism.
The Guatemalan hip-hop artist, featured in an Al Jazeera Plus video published Sunday, is using her music to spotlight sexism and the abuse that many women face in her country. She touches on topics that range from the more insidious, like catcalling, to the more severe, including the alarmingly high murder rates.
“Guatemala is a country that has one of the highest femicide rates in the world and also [has] very high rates of interfamilial and domestic violence,” Lane told Al Jazeera.
