Mexico.- This morning during his morning conference, Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador argued that in the neoliberal past women’s deaths were not classified as femicides until their administration began.
“Before they were not considered femicides, they were homicides. This classification begins practically with us (your current administration), so there is also an increase in this crime because women were previously murdered and it was not considered femicide,” the representative said.
This was not the case in 2012, when femicide was incorporated into the Federal Criminal Code, a set of legal rules where some offences are planned, through article 325.
According to the code, “a woman who deprives a woman on gender grounds commits the crime of femicide.” In addition, gender reasons are considered to exist when one of the following circumstances occurs: to show signs of sexual violence of any kind; inflict inflating infamous or degrading injuries or mutilations; there is a history of any type of violence at family, work or school level; the existence of a romantic relationship between the asset and the victim; threats related to the criminal act; incommunicado; and body display.

Thus, in early 2020, the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic (FGR) sought to have the femicide crime criminalize a homicide against a woman.
“Yes, the crime of femicide is simply criminal and maintained as a homicide against a woman; this femicide must have the highest aggravation and penalty, which must be 40 to 70 years,” according to dependency.
