  • Femicide is the act of murdering women, because they are women. Mexico, particularly in Ciudad Juárez, is one of the leading countries in the amount of femicides that occur each year. This escalation of violence began in the early 1990's and was followed by a wave sexual violence and torture, abductions, increasing rates of women being murdered because of their gender.

Additionally, the violence is also a result of what is known as the backlash theory, a phenomenon in which when a marginalized group gains more rights within their society, there is a violent backlash from their oppressors. The response from the Mexican government has been relatively minimal as there is very little legislation protecting women. The lack of response also serves as a form of controlling women and quelling feminist movements as exacerbates fear of violence. Local police and government officials are known to dismiss instances of women going missing and in some cases have been found to be in connect with various instances of violence against women. There have been many small feminist movements that have attempted bring attention to the level of violence that Mexican women face. These movements primarily focus their efforts through demonstrations, sharing their own experiences, and creating works of art to express their frustrations. (en)
