Photographer Ana Maria Arévalo "Dias Eternos" focuses on the condition in detention centers and jails for women in Venezuela, El Salvador and Guatemala.

"When I talked to these women, they told me that they didn't know their lawyers. They didn't know when they were going to be released. And I felt very ashamed that I didn't know about the dreadful reality of these women. That's the moment when I decided to do this work," Ana Maria Arevalo told RFI English.
