Abstract
This chapter was invited by Rebecca Pryor and Stephen Burns as a reflective response to the chapter by Burns ‘Deterrence: Crucified People’, which precedes it in the collection. Burns raises profound questions about the place and the meaning of the cross in the world we live in and my chapter explores these issues further in relation to the distinctive pink crosses which local activists used in creative wavs to protest feminicide against women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. The bring pink crosses brought the violence against of women into the public forum in a way that demanded attention. This feminist activism offers a creative opportunity for theological reflection on how the cross might be understood in new ways in light of women's experiences.
