In other states, many women are being persecuted, threatened, harassed for defending human rights. Violence and murder against social activists and journalists has increased.
From 1993 to date more and more women killed as a form of extreme violence. Many officials do not want to talk about the femicide in their states, disturbed, their way, in the case of Peña Nieto in the State of Mexico. Remember his performance when the repression in Atenco in May 2006. Let us remember the women who were raped and abused, and no justice. Atenco is not forgotten. You can not cover with a finger, or a media campaign or defensive statements, the reality of the impressive rate of violence against women in the State of Mexico, well documented with research and statistics .. His attitude is not surprising, nor the politicians insensitive Juárez, to say the least, and that are on the defensive, which are perturbed by candles activists who put the family at the place where they killed Marisela. Such expressions are trying to put a haze on the subject. It would not hurt to put a candle for each of the persons who have died in this war in all places of the country, to dispel the haze. Y withdraw all institutions of the women who voted against Gender Alert.
What demands? Justice! Stop the Violence!
