TV Azteca's Adrián Ortega and Elisa Salinas at the clapperboard of Lo Que Callamos Las Mujeres
The new season of Lo Que Callamos Las Mujeres will incorporate, for the first time, the theme of missing persons from the perspective of the searching mothers for one of the standalone episodes, announced Elisa Salinas, general producer and creator of this emblematic program that has been successful for over two decades and continues to achieve international sales success for TV Azteca. In Mexico, “searching mothers” refers to the groups of women searching for their missing sons and daughters.
The themes of each standalone episode arise from cases that come from real life, she explained, therefore, they are infinite. “It’s almost impossible to repeat because everyone experiences the same theme in a different way,” she said. She mentioned that NGOs and Foundations approach her to give visibility to various issues, and they have addressed situations of blind or cerebral palsy-afflicted people and the difficulties they face. “This season, we will also address the case of women burned with acid, which is not something that is usually shown on television,” she said.
But particularly, this new season, premiering on April 13th, will emphasize the male-female relationship, and how it is transforming with these new empowered women who no longer want the classic stereotype of marriage, alongside new types of relationships such as polyamory or the relationship between a mother and her transgender son. “We approach the cases with a lot of openness,” she said, after mentioning that they are very interested in the situation of young people.

Adrián Ortega, General Director of Content at TV Azteca, explained that the program is becoming deeper and has been evolving, adapting to modernity, and narrating topics that did not exist before. “Everything is changing and we have cinematic quality and very high levels of editing and post-production,” he said. Lo Que Callamos Las Mujeres seeks to be a space for meeting and reflection for all women and those who wish to understand their realities.
The program has accumulated more than 3,000 cases broadcast throughout its trajectory, with cases presented in a didactic and informative manner, aiming to generate reflection on self-confidence, self-esteem, and the fight for women’s rights.
