Lo que diré;

Good morning, teacher and classmates.

The topic that I will present is femicide


To begin with, as far as I understand and what I have investigated, it refers to the
murder of a woman for the simple fact of being a woman, also when the one who
committed the murder is the partner or a man who coincided with a relationship with
the woman/victim.
Femicide simply put, it's a hate crime. I understand that in Mexico more than 10
women a day die victims of femicide, it is said that every 9 out of 10 women suffer
violence at some point in their lives and not every homicide of a woman is femicide,
there has to be a context, or sea, see the reasons and causes of death.
Violence against women has become a thorny issue for the Mexican government.
On June 14, 2012, the reform that incorporated the crime of Feminicide in the
Federal Penal Code was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, where
it is defined as feminicide: "Article 325. - The crime of feminicide is committed by
anyone who deprives life to a woman for reasons of gender".

Mi diaposotiva
Violence against women has its origin in gender inequality, that is, in the position of
subordination, marginality and risk in which they find themselves compared to men.
The violent death of women for reasons of gender, typified in our penal system as
femicide, is the most extreme form of violence against women and one of the most
serious manifestations of discrimination against them. In our Federal Penal Code,
femicide is typified in article 325, which establishes the following:
"Anyone who deprives a woman of her life for reasons of gender commits the crime
of femicide. Gender reasons are considered to exist when any of the following
circumstances occur: The victim shows signs of sexual violence of any kind; The
victim has been inflicted with infamous or degrading injuries or mutilations, before or
after the deprivation of life or acts of necrophilia; There is a history or data of any
type of violence in the family, work or school environment, of the active subject
against the victim; There has existed between the asset and the victim a sentimental,
affective or trust relationship; There is data that establishes that there were threats
related to the criminal act, harassment or injuries of the active subject against the
victim; The victim has been held incommunicado, whatever the time prior to the
deprivation of life; The body of the victim exposed to the sea or exhibited in a public
place." Commonly, homicides committed against women are not investigated taking
into consideration that they could be femicides. For this reason, the Latin American
Model Protocol for the investigation of violent deaths of women due to gender
recommends that all violent deaths of women that in principle would seem to have
been caused by criminal reasons, suicide and accidents, must be analyzed from a
gender perspective, in order to determine whether or not there were gender reasons
in the cause of death and to be able to confirm or rule out the reason for it.
