Yellow Stuff Around The Clitorus

Organizations stand for femicide Marisela Ortiz Escobedo

Faced with the inability and contempt of the federal government and state government, Marisela was killed for seeking justice for their daughter, Ruby.

" I will not move from here until you arrest the murderer of my daughter" were the statements Marisela, before placing their little camp in the Cross of Nails OR A MORE in Chihuahua City. She was willing to spend Christmas and New Year at the landmark, which just last November 25, participated in a demonstration together with the mothers of Justice for Our Daughters to place on the cross, more than 300 names women who have been killed in the state of Chihuahua this year only, 2010.

Ruby, was 16 when he was killed by Sergio Rafael in August 2008. Since he disappeared, his small body was found in a field with bones of pigs, Ruby's mother, Marisela, a retired nurse, dedicated his life to seeking justice for his daughter, became an advocate for human rights.

the same day that the Secretary of the Interior, Francis Blake, called on citizens "to shake the fear to fight criminals," Marisela was murdered outside the gates of the Government Palace in Chihuahua City, while conducted a peaceful protest to demand indefinite detention authorities of the murderer of her daughter Rubi. Marisela

shook not only fear, walked for days from the Deputy City Judicial Justice in Ciudad Juarez to demand punishment for the murderer of his daughter. She was accompanied by a stroller with her granddaughter for two years and a poster with a picture of her daughter Rubi. A trial court freed the murderer, Formwork justice system.

Marisela, tireless fighter, managed in conjunction with lawyers from the Center Women's Human Rights (CEDEHM) that an appeal court (three judges) to rectify the decision of the judges and succeeded in obtaining a conviction against Sergio Rafael, the confessed murderer, which was eventually sentenced to 50 years in prison.

"I'm tired of doing their job, now it is up to them," said Marisela. Indeed, while the authorities failed to find Sergio Rafael, Marisela with their own resources, located in Zacatecas and gave notice to the Office of Chihuahua, who claimed that red tape could not stop.

The Chihuahua State Attorney informed the mother, in coordination with the Attorney General's Office and the State "were searching for the murderer of her daughter around the country." Never found.

For two years, toured the country. He returned to Zacatecas, traveled to Mexico City, where hearing request with the President Calderon and Attorney Arturo Chavez Chavez, who refused to receive it. It met with commanders of the Attorney General's office promised him they would seek the murderer of her daughter. Neither found.

Days before the murder, attended a ceremony where he was the governor of Chihuahua, Cesar Duarte and pulled out a banner reading "justice, government privilege." Marisela application angered the Governor, as documented by several local newspapers. The governor even scolded and scorned. Later, he interviewed with the Chihuahua State Attorney promised that he would review his case.

Lucha Castro, coordinator of the Center for Women's Human Rights (CEDEHM) said "now, we can not rule out any line of investigation, including a state crime as Marisela not going to stop until they stop the murderer of her daughter." Marisela

died at the gates of the Palace of Government and before the cross of nails to put the network of black women and mothers of young women murdered in Chihuahua state. Marisela was killed for seeking justice.

Mr. President Calderón and Mr. Duarte, Governor of Chihuahua: how far does the responsibility of citizens for justice and where he starts his work as authorities?

Given this disability, number of omissions, contempt and neglect The Mexican State is responsible and accountable immediately for the murder of Ruby and Marisela.

Enough. Not one more!

What Makes A Dominatrix

Human Rights Organizations condemn the murder of the Defenders Susana Chavez and Marisela Escobedo

  • We demand justice and responses to violence and murder to defenders of human rights

The undersigned organizations strongly repudiate the killing of human rights defender Susana Chávez, a tireless fighter against women in Ciudad Juárez. This atrocity occurs less than a month after the murder of activist Marisela Escobedo- occurred while demanding justice for the murder of his daughter in 2008 - also condemn murder with the same indignation.

The murder of Susanna and Marisela, occurring in a climate of insecurity and widespread violence, in addition to a series of attacks, bombings, threats and homicides against defenders of human rights recorded in various regions of the country. The constant in these cases has been the lack of investigation and lack of preventive measures to protect the security, integrity and life of the defenders.

In this context, a broad group of human rights organizations demand that the Mexican Government for the implementation of the Mechanism of Protection of Defenders of Human Rights, in compliance with various international recommendations.

In this regard, we have presented the government a proposal deployment to protect defenders, so that there are forms of immediate action against attacks on activists and to investigate the facts and violations will not go unpunished.

This need for implementation by the State, was also evident last October, before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), where organizations raised the urgency of implementing this proposal mechanism.

This requirement has become more than a year has been being delayed by the state. Urge to be realized.

Given these new facts and the lack of response from the Mexican government to protect and ensure the security, integrity and life of defenders of human rights demand a strong and swift response.

No blood. No more deaths. No more impunity.

We demand an end to violence FEMICA in Latin America and the Caribbean: Avoid

Health Network of Latin American and Caribbean Women: Public Statement

Given the heinous murders of women in recent days in Mexico, affecting among other women, advocates and human rights activists Marisela Escobedo and Susana Chavez, Health Network of Latin American and Caribbean Women, RSMLAC , as a regional movement that articulates the health of women, expresses anger, frustration and anger against the new violence macho continue to form the painful statistics on crimes against women in that country.

Mexico, however, is not the only scenario where every day women and girls, in the widest diversity, continue to be killed, tortured, raped, maimed, trafficked, abused and humiliated by simply because they were. In every corner of our planet, we see every day the existence of the brutal violence that seeks to subjugate women and subordinate to patriarchal power, even through death.

And for this to continue happening, there many leaders: States that fail and fail in their duty to safeguard the lives and human rights of women enshrined, ineffective justice systems and corrupt repeatedly failing to identify, prosecute and punish perpetrators, and a whole society that has allowed the use and abuse of female body, objectified as mere object. A society that, above all, has been normalized and naturalized the existence of gender-based violence as if it were a circumstance characteristic of being a woman.

Mexico is a case study, such as Guatemala and other nations in our region, where for years we have been witnessing the most brutal escalation of violence against women, a phenomenon that can not be detached from the exacerbation of social conflicts in the context of neoliberal capitalist globalization, and where an increase in femicide is a very clear indicator of the intensification of violence material and symbolic that falls on women's bodies.

In this context, it must make it clear that organized crime gangs drug trafficking, its close collusion with the apparatus of power, plus the implementation of national security policies to address the crime that been developed as military occupation and territory police, have done nothing but deepen the practice of gender-based violence with a cruelty rarely known, and whose victims are mostly poor young women.

And, meanwhile, human rights defenders are particularly harassed, threatened and killed, in an attempt to silence their voices, however, always remain in our memories.

Therefore:

· We an URGENT CALL TO ACTION REGIONAL STANDING TO DEMAND THAT OUR GOVERNMENT PUT A STOP THE VIOLENCE SEXIST, deliver all necessary protection and redress for victims and their families, severely punish the culprits. And progress also to socio-cultural transformations necessary to denature the violence against women by addressing the ethical and political challenge of deconstructing the power systems today combine to make gender-based violence a daily occurrence.

• We ask also to get urgent letters of protest to the President of Mexico, Felipe Calderón, urging him to fulfill his duty bound to protect the lives and rights of women and girls as required by human rights instruments to which Mexico is a signatory. E-mail for these purposes is: correofjch@presidencia.gob.mx .

· can use this statement as a basis for drafting their letters.

· Give a copy of these letters to the presidents of their countries, as well as the minister or director of Women.

• This Monday, January 17, at 10 am, finally, has called for a WORLD PROTEST AGAINST THE EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES OF MEXICO. It's another opportunity to convey the letter to Pres. Calderón and to sensitize public opinion.

For the life of women, femicide Enough, enough of macho violence!

RSMLAC gender alert declared by femicide in Mexico State

INMUJERES DF

January 12, 2011

· violence femicide is not a priority for some states in the country: the message

With 20 votes in favor, 11 against and 2 abstentions, the National System to Prevent, Treat, Punishment and Eradication Violence decided to declare inadmissible the application of violence alert gender in the State of Mexico by the cases of femicide.

This determination, without attachment to an awareness of gender, and ethical responsibility to respect human rights of women and girls, was ignoring all international treaties on human rights of women and conventions our country has signed in the matter, and ignoring the obligation of Women's Institutes across the country to defend and promote human rights of women and girls.

This decision shows that gross violations of human rights of women in our country are not a priority for most states, those who serve you away immediately and seek to establish urgent action to prevent violence against women and girls prefer to protect the political interests of their rulers.

The application of gender alert issued by the National Citizens' Watch Femicide and the Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights of Women was supported with official data from State of Mexico (Procuraduría General Justice of the State Human Rights Commission of the State, among others) demonstrates that there are alarming levels of violence against women, a systematic pattern of violence femicide and a context of impunity in these cases.

Among the disturbing facts that stood out to support the request, are those provided by its own Office of the State of Mexico which reported 4773 allegations of rape in a year and a half, and 922 intentional homicides committed against women between January 2005 and August 2010. Of the 922 women's voluntary manslaughter, stresses that the authorities ignore or are unaware of who the murderer in 56.72% of the crimes and only in cases where the murder was committed by a known individual (spouse, relative or neighbor), the authority the identity the perpetrator (35.47%), contrary to this information, the authorities have sought to reduce the problem of femicide the family.

femicide violence documented by the organizations mentioned refers to the 10 most populated municipalities these being: Ecatepec, Nezahualcoyotl, Tlalnepantla, Toluca, Chimalhuacan, Naucalpan, Tultitlan, Ixtapaluca, Valle de Chalco and Cuautitlan Izcalli.

worth mentioning also that the Fourth Report on the Situation of Human Rights of Migrants in Transit in Mexico, the State of Mexico is one of three states in the country with higher levels of violence against this sector.

Despite solid and convincing arguments in favor of gender alert statement, voting with the participation of the representatives of the mechanisms for the advancement of women in the states, determined that the declaration was inappropriate.

About irrationally and uncompromisingly opposed to the approval of the preliminary investigation to the declaration of alert referred to a perceived lack of certainty of the statistics above, partisan manipulation, the use of women as a pretext for attacking the Governor and a clear politicization as background to this matter.
The representative of the National Council of Women and Social Welfare of the State of Mexico, Lorena Cruz Sánchez and general counsel of the state, far from arguing the merits, were implemented to discredit the actions of the Executive Secretariat of the National System to Prevent , Treat, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women, noting that the actions were biased, because the notice of the warning order was made on working days and without having conducted a thorough investigation on the accusations referred by social organizations . These were real arguments legaloides.

For its part, the Director General of the Institute of Women of Mexico City, Martha Lucia Micher Camarena, defended the merits of the request and clarified that this figure is not a prosecution for the State of Mexico or for governor but an administrative procedure and research preventive searches to form a group of experts on gender that would give their feedback to subsequently analyze the admissibility of the declaration of domestic violence warning. It also stated emphatically that the preliminary investigation seeks to ensure safety women victims of violence, which are specified by the set of emergency measures that the government, if any, would implement to address and eradicate violence femicide in a given territory.

Martha Lucia Micher Camarena drew the attention of the raison d'être of institutions and bodies of women in the states to defend and promote human rights of women, which have cost himself a long struggle over 30 years and called not to vote to break the law, but to act in keeping with the General Law of Access of Women to a Life Free of Violence, as well as various international treaties on protection of women's human rights and in accordance with the recent ruling in 2009 by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in the case Gonzales and other "Cotton Field."

The Representative of the Institute of Women of Mexico City said that the role of representatives and members of the National System for Prevention, Care, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women, is to defend rights of all women, regardless of partisan considerations and interests of government. Similarly, said that the ultimate meaning of the warning must seek access to speedy justice, effectively and with due care for women and girls, namely, to facilitate, in a context of systematic violence-an effective mechanism to halt the gross violations of rights of women and girls.
worth mentioning that the National System for Prevention, Care, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women is composed of the Secretary of the Interior, State mechanisms for the advancement of women and bodies and autonomous agencies of the Federal Government.

The representatives who voted against the warning include, among others Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes, Campeche, Coahuila, Colima, Chihuahua, Durango, Nuevo Leon, Puebla, Quintana Roo, San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas; while among those who argued their origin are also of this Institute, the Institute of Women of Oaxaca and Jalisco, the National Institute Women, FEVIMTRA, Secretary of Social Development, the Ministry of Public Security, the Attorney General's Office, and finally there were two abstentions under the Mechanisms for the Advancement of Women in the States of Baja California and Guanajuato.

gender The alert, according to the Access Act, is to ensure the safety of women and the cessation of violence against them. Has been approved, the Government of Mexico would be required to implement preventive measures, security and justice, confronting and stamping out violence femicide, as well as prepare special reports on the area and the behavior of the indicators of violence against women and allocate the necessary budgetary resources to meet the contingency of warning, among other measures, however, to be declared inadmissible, the local government is not obligated to do it, to the detriment of the State of Mexico.

Institute For Women in Mexico City, the negative to start the process of investigating the facts evidenced by social organizations on violence femicide in Mexico State, is an affront that perpetuates impunity risk in women who already live in the State of Mexico.

How can you justify the infringement of the law with a bleak picture so clear and systematic violence for women and girls in the State of Mexico? What grief can be prepared by the family to the reaffirmation of impunity and lack of interest in eradicating this problem?
