The national crisis of women of 'Fearing to Live': a comparative study before and after the COVID pandemic of increased violence against women in Mexico

Saucedo Alvarado, Ariana Selene

In Mexico, more cases of violence against women exist than the diagnoses of coronavirus. This study focuses on escalating violence against women, spanning both the pre and post-COVID-19 pandemic periods. According to impactful 2020 data from the UN Women, approximately 243 million women and girls, aged 15-49, experience sexual and/or physical violence. The primary emphasis is on feminicides as a pressing national issue. This urgent concern is closely examined, revealing a critical situation that demands immediate attention: Ten women per day are murdered for gender-related reasons in Mexico, underscoring the imperative need for social change. This thesis aims to explore the cultural roots, institutional failures, and social dynamics perpetuating this violence while utilizing a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods. This study offers a more comprehensive understanding of these underlying factors. Embracing a critical gender perspective supported by feminist theory advocates for impactful transformations in addressing gender-based violence in Mexico.
