80-90% of murder victims in Mexico are male. That number is similar to the worldwide rate, maybe even a bit higher. It seems like Mexico doesn't have any special problem with murder of women, they just have a huge problem with murder, period.

- vijayr 11y agoBut how many of the 80-90% male murders are related to drugs, gangs etc? Vs these girls and women, who don't seem to be associated with any criminal activity? Not saying those men don't matter, just that drugs/gang violence and murder of innocents are two different problems
- cousin_it 11y agoI think it's very wrong to assume that most male murder victims in Mexico were criminals. How about police officers, journalists, activists, random hostages, etc? For example, last September 43 male students were abducted and killed in Iguala after they tried to have a political protest.
- tsotha 11y agoWhy do you assume women aren't associated with criminal activity? It's not uncommon for women to get busted running drugs.
- vijayr 11y agoMaybe, but this article talks about those women who aren't associated with drugs or gangs
