Across the figure, she embroiders a powerful message in black capital letters: # NOT ONE MORE (in Spanish, <em>Ni una m\u00e1s<\/em>. Using needle and thread, she joins her piece to those created by other women in the community known as <strong>Patchwork: Healing Blanket<\/strong>, where embroidery has become both a path to healing and a way to denounce gender-based violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers at Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey want the women in that community to <strong>tell their own stories through videos, audio recordings, written accounts, images, and other forms of <a href=\"\/es\/tag\/humanidades-digitales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital<\/a> storytelling<\/strong> without anyone speaking on their behalf and with the opportunity to bring their message to a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is the goal of the <strong>Narrateca for Social Justice<\/strong>, a research project to create a digital platform where people from historically marginalized communities can share their own testimonies, says <a href=\"https:\/\/research.tec.mx\/vivo-tec\/display\/PID_22729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jacob Ba\u00f1uelos<\/a>, a research professor at the <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/school-of-humanities-and-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Humanities and Education<\/a> (EHE) at Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey\u2019s <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/campus-ciudad-de-mexico\/\" id=\"545\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mexico City campus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe idea is for these narratives to come directly from their own lived experiences, going a little beyond traditional media or other intermediaries,\u201d Ba\u00f1uelos explains. \u201cWe want to approach these communities from within to recover those experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intersectionality, Told in Their Own Voices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><picture>\r\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/jacob-banuelos.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\">\r\n                <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"876\" src=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/jacob-banuelos.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173900\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.8264854537979734;width:280px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/jacob-banuelos.png 724w, https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/jacob-banuelos-248x300.png 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/>\r\n            <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jacob Ba\u00f1uelos is a professor at the School of Humanities and Education (EHE) and a member of Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey\u2019s Digital Humanities research group. (Photo: Courtesy of Jacob Ba\u00f1uelos)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative works with four groups: <a href=\"\/en\/education-and-humanism\/humanizing-deportation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">migrants<\/a>, women who have survived <a href=\"\/en\/health\/science-as-an-ally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gender-based violence<\/a>, women with disabilities, and members of the <a href=\"\/en\/human-social\/lgbtq-youth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LGBTQ+ community<\/a>. The project also embraces an intersectional perspective, recognizing that a person may, for example, belong to the LGBTQ+ community while also having experienced gender-based violence or living with a disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Narrateca will teach participants how to create digital stories in a variety of formats, including animations and <a href=\"\/en\/science-communication\/us-mexico-border-through-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">illustrations<\/a> generated with <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI), as well as written works and digital literature. Another goal is to build a digital repository of personal testimonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of this effort, the research team is conducting a series of workshops where participants <strong>learn how to use digital tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ba\u00f1uelos emphasizes that what sets this initiative apart is that the stories are not defined by academics. Instead, the communities themselves will decide which experiences they want to share and the formats they want to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<strong>We don\u2019t want to come in and impose a particular type of narrative<\/strong>,\u201d Ba\u00f1uelos explains. \u201cWe want to explore what these communities want to express and how they want to express it. The platform should make it easier to experiment with new forms of expression. A story can be told through a single medium, but it can also weave together multiple formats, such as sound, text, a still image, and then video.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI: Not Here to Replace, but to Assist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although AI is one of the technologies powering the Narrateca for Social Justice, its purpose is not to replace the voices of these communities or to generate their testimonies automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, AI is meant to expand opportunities for self-expression by providing creative tools for developing images, while also making useful information more accessible. Its use will follow ethical guidelines and always remain under human oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One example is the development of a <strong>chatbot initially designed for migrants<\/strong>. The virtual assistant draws on information from official sources as well as experiences shared by the community itself. Its goal is to provide reliable information about legal rights, administrative procedures, and other topics relevant to migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture>\r\n                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/QUOTES-WEB-DUPLICAR-27-1024x1024.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\">\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/QUOTES-WEB-DUPLICAR-27-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/QUOTES-WEB-DUPLICAR-27-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/QUOTES-WEB-DUPLICAR-27-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/QUOTES-WEB-DUPLICAR-27-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/QUOTES-WEB-DUPLICAR-27-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/tecscience.tec.mx\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/07\/QUOTES-WEB-DUPLICAR-27.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n            <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supporting Participants and Curating Testimonies to Prevent Revictimization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ba\u00f1uelos explains that before any stories are published on the platform or incorporated into the chatbot\u2019s database, they go through a process of support and editorial review designed to protect the identity and safety of participants. In this way, <strong>the project seeks to ensure that the content does not revictimize or expose those who choose to share their experiences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, such as stories from members of the LGBTQ+ community, testimonies will remain anonymous, and participants will be free to decide at any time whether they want to keep their stories on the platform or have them removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have a very rigorous ethical protocol to protect people\u2019s identities and, above all, to prevent revictimization,\u201d the researcher says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research team is currently working with about 10 organizations and community groups that already serve these populations, including El Buen Samaritano in Nuevo Le\u00f3n; Border Line Crisis Center in Baja California; Caminantas in Jalisco; Red Arco\u00edris de Resistencia in Coahuila; Las Vanders in Mexico City; and Patchwork: Healing Blanket, which operates in several regions of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn these first few months, we\u2019ve learned that we can\u2019t do this work alone,\u201d he says. \u201cWe need to build partnerships with organizations and projects that have already established themselves in this field. If you come in from the outside without knowing the community or the people involved, it\u2019s much harder to earn their trust.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working alongside Ba\u00f1uelos are <a href=\"https:\/\/mariangelaabbruzzeseabajian.academia.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mari\u00e1ngela Abbruzzese<\/a>, a researcher at Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uadec.mx\/dr-gabriel-perez-salazar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gabriel P\u00e9rez<\/a> of the Autonomous University of Coahuila; and <a href=\"https:\/\/research.tec.mx\/vivo-tec\/display\/PID_242633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rubria Rocha<\/a> of the Autonomous University of Nuevo Le\u00f3n. The project is funded by Mexico\u2019s Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology, and Innovation (SECIHTI) and is expected to run for two and a half years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">200 Stories That Matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over that period, the project aims to train about 150 people in creating digital narratives, establish a network of 20 community facilitators, and <strong>collect at least 200 stories to be published on the platform<\/strong>. The team also expects the site to attract around 10,000 visitors during its first year of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its first six months, the project has already gathered about 50 stories. A first public version of the platform is expected to launch during the second half of the year, with additional tools and features to be introduced over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the platform is designed primarily for the people participating in the project, Ba\u00f1uelos believes it could also help reshape how society at large engages with these communities. Looking ahead, the team also plans to work with young people experiencing violence and other forms of vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would like this tool to become a trusted source for stories told by members of these communities themselves, one that enables free expression in a way that is both empowering and critical, while remaining closely connected to artistic and aesthetic forms of expression,\u201d Ba\u00f1uelos says. \u201cWe want to build counter-narratives that challenge dominant narratives and help foster a culture of respect, equality, and peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Were you interested in this story?
