The Inter-American Court of Human Rights ordered the formal integration into Mexican law of the concepts of 'searching mothers' and 'mother of a femicide victim'. This ruling marks a significant step in protecting women's rights and combating violence. The court emphasized the need for legal recognition of these statuses to ensure proper support and legal assistance to the families of victims. 'The search for missing women and justice for femicide victims are fundamental rights that must be protected by law,' the court stated. Mexico has been given a deadline to implement the necessary legislative changes.
