Feminism in Mexico
There have been registered 7.7% of increases in femicides in Mexico compared to 2019.
According to Alfonso Durazo, Citizen Public Safety, in January there were 74 femicides, in February, 92; in March 78, in April 73, and in May also 73, but in June the number rise to 99, the highest monthly report so far in 2020. The states that registered the most femicides between January and June are Estado de México, Veracruz, Mexico City, Puebla, Nuevo León, and Jalisco.
I think that this is an issue that the government should start noticing more and having serious consequences for the rapists. This is a problem that is not only affecting the women that they had murder, but it also affects all their families, their friends, and all the women in this country. As woman, we are used to so many things that we should not be accustomed to, for example, not wearing the things we want because they are "provocative" to the men, instead of them having respect and not objectifying women. Not walking alone, even if it is daytime, because we are scared of some men taking us, violating us, or yelling obscene things, but according to the society it is "our fault" for using that clothes, having that makeup, being provocative, etc. I don´t think these are things why all women should have less respect or can justify a violation, or even worst, a murder.
According to Andres Lopez Obrador, his oppressors adhere to any cause just to question him: "They became feminists, they tried to make things worse for us in the pandemic and even advanced the death of people." He also said that the majority of calls about domestic violence the government received were fake, which is the latest controversy surrounding his government's response to record levels of violence against women. Their call centers were approximately having 26,000 calls, Mexico's government has been unable to stop the daily murder of women in the country, and, at times, it seems to completely dismiss the problem.
I think our president instead of taking this as a serious problem, he is trying to use it as an excuse for making more clear that this is another "whim" that the people who do not like him are trying to use to make him look like a "bad person", I believe that he should make the people of this country realize how bad and serious this problem is, not only to the women violated but to all the country.
