The Drug-War Femicides
It is increasingly dangerous to be a woman in Mexico and most of Central America, where women are being murdered with alarming frequency – a byproduct of the "war" on drug trafficking. Unfortunately, none of the initiatives to reduce the rate of femicide proposes steps that would end the war that is fueling the violence.

BARCELONA – The number of women murdered is increasing in most of Central America and Mexico. In some countries, such as Honduras, the increase is four times that of men. Moreover, many of these murders are committed with extreme violence – sexual savagery, torture, and mutilations – by perpetrators (often involved in organized crime) acting with a high degree of impunity.
