Molly Molloy: The Story of the Juarez Femicides is a 'Myth'

But what’s the problem with focusing on femicides if it heightens awareness of the real problem of violence in Juárez?

«I have a problem with this extreme focus on the women victims. I think every single one of the victims matter. The fact that a crime or homicide victim is a woman, or a child, or a man—it makes a different story. But in human terms, no one victim should be more highly valued than another.»

Brilliant article that makes many vital points. Feminism is an echo chamber and a naval gazing self obsessed dead end for and by the privileged. It allows a majority of people to suffer while they obsess over the few and draw incorrect conclusions. Not to mention blaming the wrong people.

Texas Observer: Does Ciudad Juárez experience a disproportionate amount of violence against women?

Molly Molloy: Female murder victims have never comprised more than 18 percent of the overall number of murder victims in Ciudad Juárez, and in the last two decades that figure averages at less than 10 percent. That’s less than in the United States, where about 20 to 25 percent of the people who are murdered in a given year are women. Ciudad Juárez is experiencing profound social distress, and the elevated violence in the city is a continuing crisis. But this idea that Juárez is a place of disproportionate violence against women is a misperception.
