Feminicide again...

To continue with what I discussed last night, I would like to concentrate on the background of both Ciudad Juárez and Chihuahua. Both are Mexican cities but this is what I came across about these two infamous cities:

.Chihuahua is the second largest consumer of illicit drugs among Mexican states
• Ciudad Juárez is home to one of the most powerful criminal cartels and street gangs dedicated to trafficking and consumption of drugs.
• As a border town, Juárez receives a steady stream of hundreds of people every day on their way to the United States, as well as residents of that country who cross the border to Juárez for a variety of reasons, among which the most enticing is the city’s nightlife.
• Ciudad Juárez has 3700 nightclubs, but only 625 schools.
• Juárez also has a large number of maquiladoras-these are foreign owned assembly plants in Mexico.Companies import machinery and materials duty free and export finished products around the world. They are also known as twin plants, maquilas and in-bond industries.In the early days women made up as much as 80% of the assembly plant workforce, today they number close to 60%. While they can legally be hired at the age of 16, it is common for these girl-women to get false documents in order to go to work at ages as young as 12, 13 or 14.

The exploitation is alarming with wages being as meagre as $3.40 per day vs. US - $5.15 per hour. And these women are easy prey for any male that wishes to lay his hands on them. These women are killed for nothing and almost everything and primarily because they are WOMEN, their gender makes them liable to be murdered.It happens to women inhabiting the lower stratum of the society, belonging to a lower economic strata.

The problem has not been addressed properly by the police or even the government and so women continue to suffer in the city, the families live in perpetual dread knowing that their daughters, sisters, wives, mothers are not safe...

THIS CRIME SHOULD BE CURBED NOT ONLY FOR THE WOMEN BUT FOR THE ENTIRE HUMAN WORLD WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE UNABLE TO STARE AT THE FUTURE GENERATION IN ITS FACE...
