Nueve cuentos acerca de mujeres en situación de acoso, hostigamiento y feminicidio

Abstract

In Mexico, gender violence has become a growing and alarming issue. A direct evidence of this is crime involving the violent and deliberate killing of a woman on the mere fact of being a woman. Feminicide, as the highest level of gender violence against women from a patriarchy system having as purpose women subjugation, is preceded by a series of atrocious treatment revealing hatred and scorn for female. In this article, we will analyze nine stories written by Mexican women, whose protagonists denounce sad reality of a country where a patriarchy system is widespread concealing women as useless objects. Nevertheless, we conclude we need to change this little by little. We must educate ourselves –women and men- following gender equity principles, new male conceptions free from violence, based on respect for others.
