Femicide is an unfamiliar term for many in the United States as this gender-motivated crime has not been defined by US legislation despite being a global issue.
It's not clear when the video was taken or if it depicts the moment Robinson suffered the injury that led to her death.
Alejandra Marquez, an assistant professor of Spanish with a focus on gender and sexuality in Latin America and the Caribbean at Michigan State University, said the "feminicidos" crisis in Mexico started several decades ago and first gained national attention in the 1990s when hundreds of women were killed in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez.
"As a society, we need to recognize that these are not one-off deaths. These are in fact, connected to patterns of masculine violence, and we need to think more closely about preventing that kind of violence," said Evans, the scholar at Emory University. There are existing laws that address gender-based violence in the US and mechanisms to track domestic violence but they are flawed.
Earlier this year, federal lawmakers reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act. The legislation is aimed at protecting and supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking -- all documented precursors in femicide cases. It's hard to describe the full scope of gender-based violence, the report says, because roughly 4 in 10 killings reported by authorities have "no contextual information to allow them to be identified and counted as gender-related killings."
