Shooting death of young woman activist returns spotlight to 'femicides' in Juarez, MexicoThe shooting death of a women's rights activist in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, is putting the issue of 'femicides' back into the spotlight as violence against women in the country continues to increase. (1/5) Femicides are defined as the killing of a woman or girl because of her gender. From 1985 to 2014, there were 47,178 women killed in Mexico due to their gender, according to data compiled by RFK Human Rights and Center for Women's Hollistic Development. (2/5) Very sad.
