Press Release                                       October 25, 2003

The Mexican State of Chihuahua is the most dangerous place to be a young woman in the Americas. In the last ten years, in Juarez and Chihuahua City, some 275 women have been murdered and at least 250 more have disappeared. 

The responses of the Mexican authorities up to now have been ineffectual. Legislation dealing with sexual violence and disappearance is lacking. False evidence and false accusations of guilt mar too many investigations. The right to life, to due process and to justice has all been violated time after time. 

For several years, the families of the victims have led protests against the violence and against the failures of the Mexican government to find the criminals and protect the citizenry. JUSTICE FOR OUR DAUGHTERS a Chihuahua City-based group emerged in 2002 and is working locally, nationally and internationally to promote justice and human rights in Mexico and to bring an end to the violence. They currently face aggressive opposition from the Mexican authorities, including beatings, torture, defamation and false arrests.

Amnesty International recently issued a report on the situation and has called for concerned citizens worldwide to express concern to the Mexican government about the violence.

Concerned citizens around the world have organized a wide variety of actions to coincide the Mexican celebration of Day of the Dead. Street protests, vigils in front of Mexican consulates, cultural events and religious services to commemorate the victims will take place between October 31 until November 2, 2003. Street actions will be taking place in New York, Washington DC, El Paso, Phoenix, San Francisco, Portland Oregon, Minneapolis, Madrid, Valencia (Spain) and Tokyo.

BOLETIN DE PRENSA                               25 de Octubre, 2003

El estado mexicano de Chihuahua  es el lugar más peligroso para ser mujer de las Américas. En los últimos diez años unas 275 mujeres han sido asesinadas y al menos 250 han desaparecido en Juárez y Ciudad Chihuahua. La respuesta de las autoridades mexicanas a estos hechos no ha sido eficaz pues no se han respetado las leyes existentes. Más aún, la legislación vigente en ese país adolece de lagunas relacionadas con las desapariciones y la violencia sexual. El proceso de investigación judicial y peritaje técnico de estos crímenes ha estado viciado de pruebas y de acusaciones falsas. El derecho a la vida, el derecho a la seguridad y a la justicia han sido principios violados continuamente.


Durante años las familias de las víctimas han emprendido numerosas protestas contra la violencia con el objetivo de exigir a las autoridades que se castigue a los responsables y se proteja a la ciudadanía. JUSTICIA PARA NUESTRAS HIJAS surgió en 2002 en Ciudad Chihuahua y  es un organismo que trabaja local, nacional e internacionalmente en apoyo a la justicia y los derechos humanos en México con el propósito de poner fin a la violencia. La organización actualmente confronta una férrea oposición por parte de las autoridades mexicanas que ha dejado como saldo agresiones físicas, tortura, difamación y arrestos simulados.

Amnistía Internacional recientemente publicó un informe sobre la situación donde exhortó a la ciudadanía global a que expresara su opinión sobre la violencia que padecen las mujeres mexicanas ante las autoridades competentes de ese país.

Ciudadanas conscientes en todas partes del mundo han organizando acciones que coincidirán con la celebración mexicana del Día de los Muertos. Protestas callejeras, vigilias ante los consulados mexicanos, eventos culturales, misas para conmemorar a las víctimas ocurrirán del 31 de octubre hasta el 2 de noviembre del 2003 en Nueva York, Washington DC, San Francisco, Portland, El Paso, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Madrid, Valencia y Tokyo.
