So far this year, at least 15 femicides have been recorded in the state of Oaxaca. The latest reported case is that of a woman who has not yet been identified.
This worrying increase in femicides has generated alarm among the population and women's rights organizations. Gender-based violence in the region is a serious issue that requires urgent attention from the authorities.
Local authorities have stated that they are investigating the case of this new femicide to identify those responsible and bring them to justice. However, emphasis is placed on the importance of preventing these violent acts and working on policies that protect the lives of women in Oaxaca.
"It is essential that concrete measures are implemented to eradicate gender-based violence in our state. Every femicide is a tragedy that hurts us all," expressed a representative of a local feminist organization.
