Last month's grisly murders of a 25-year-old woman and 7-year-old girl sent a flood of feminists and other activists into the streets of Mexico City.
Femicide, a related term, is most often described as the killings of women due to their gender, but does not account for official complicity or inaction. Broader definitions of femicide include any killings of women or girls, despite the motivation, according to the World Health Organization. As such, some countries, like Mexico, have codified the crime of feminicide on a federal level, according to García-Del Moral. In Mexico, the crime is defined as"depriving a woman of her life for gender reasons," including if a victim was subjected to sexual violence, was mutilated, if the victim and perpetrator were in an intimate relationship, or if a victim's body was exposed or exhibited in a public place, Garcia-Del Moral said.
A young girl named, Fátima, 7, was murdered only days after that, with her body found wrapped in a plastic bag, according to the Associated Press. Mexico City's Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum classified the killing as feminicide and the city's attorney general, Ernestina Godoy, said there would be an investigation into how the case was handled, according to the BBC.
In 2018, the rate once more increased, and about 10 women were murdered per day, according to the organization. García-Del Moral said there has been a sustained interaction between feminists and the Mexican president. However, it’s one that many hoped would play out differently. "This movement has several edges. It is a movement of women that legitimately fight for their rights and against violence, against femicides," Obrador said in a press conference."But there is another side of those who are against us and what they want is for the government to fail and above all that the Fourth Transformation of the public life of the country cannot be consummated. It is the conservatism disguised as feminism or whatever it may be.
