Alma: World Press Multimedia 2013
Guatemala Ciudad. Alma a intégré un gang à l'âge de 14 ans. A 22 ans, elle a annoncé à ses "homies" sa décision de le quitter définitivement. Par mesure de représailles, le jour même, deux jeunes membres de sa clique ont tenté de l'assassiner. Elle a survécu à ses blessures, mais est aujourd’hui paraplégique. Depuis, Alma et son compagnon ont fuit et se cachent dans un autre quartier. © Miquel Dewever-Plana
