In 2023, Ciudad Juarez witnessed a peak in the number of femicides. The northern city registered a total of 26 femicides that year.
Danger is at home
Embedded within a culture where women have endured disparagement from men, often extending even to their familial circles, a distressing pattern of violence emerges. This hostile atmosphere is compounded by the government's inadequate provisions for women's security. Notably, the primary perpetrators of this violence often reside within the confines of the home, making domestic spaces fraught with danger. A significant portion of these homicides transpire within the confines of closed domestic environments, with the perpetrators frequently identified as partners, ex-partners, or relatives of the victims. A consistent hallmark of these cases is the utilization of excessive violence, often involving bladed weapons and other implements.
Lack security for women
AMLO's presidential term has been marked by the highest recorded femicide rate in Mexican history. His term has been marked by the persistently high figures, encompassing both officially recorded cases and numerous others that remain uninvestigated and unresolved. A significant proportion of these crimes have origins within the family sphere, yet public funding allocated towards addressing domestic violence has declined. Consequently, heightened concerns among women have prompted endeavors to assert their rights through social protests, all in pursuit of transformative change. This movement garners extensive support from the general populace, reflecting a collective aspiration for a shift in societal dynamics.
