Feminicide is a term used in Mexico for a type of murder where the female victim is killed by a male because of her gender. Usually, the suspect is a partner or former partner. However, in recent years, the definition of the crime has become blurry as authorities in some states label any murder where the victim is a female as femicide. The issue has caused much confusion since the term femicide has become a political hot topic used by certain political groups to criticize the government.
However, according to statements made by researcher Guadalupe Sanchez Ramos during a conference on gender-based murders, government officials purposely undercount femicides, while the ones that are classified as such usually go unpunished, a news release from therevealed. The researcher claimed that government officials only classify a small percentage of female murders as femicides, in order to show an artificial decrease in gender-based crimes.
From January to August, the state of Jalisco has had 137 women whose murder should be classified as femicide, however, government statistics only show 20 cases in that time frame,Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to Mexico City and the states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities.
