Toluca, Mex., April 26. The seven killings of women in Chimalhuacán limits and rekindled in recent weeks Nezahualcóyotl warnings nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to ensure that the state of Mexico is the state with highest rate of femicide in the country.
Their research shows that more than 80 municipalities of the state's rate of intentional homicide of women is higher than the national average and in Toluca and Naucalpan, among others, the rates are higher than in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua.
According to the Citizens' Institute for Studies on Insecurity (ICESI) in Toluca manslaughter committed 12.2 per 100 thousand women and Naucalpan 7.3 per every 100 thousand. In Ciudad Juárez, the rate is 4.8. Immediately after this border city located Chimalhuacán body, which occur 4.6 homicides per 100 000 women.
Both Icesi as the Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights (CMDPDH) and the International Federation of Human Rights (FIHD) placed the state of Mexico as the entity with the highest rate of female homicide . The first agency estimates that 4.8 commit murder and two 7.5 per hundred thousand women. These figures are even recognized by the Human Rights Commission of the State of Mexico, which describes the phenomenon of''alarming.''
However, the Attorney General of the State of Mexico (PGJEM) insists that these organizations disseminate data that do not correspond to reality and asks them not to exaggerate the problem or create a perception of insecurity.
The delegate of the PGJE in Toluca, Cranss Patricia Martinez, who made a diagnosis on this problem, he said:''All these data are inaccurate.'' NGOs argued that the figures are based National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics (INEGI), which represents equally the homicides (intentional) and negligence (unintentional) against women, which makes the rate grows disproportionately .
The office only supports a voluntary manslaughter rate of 0.76 per 100 thousand women, ie less than one hundred thousand, and notes that are committed Chihuahua 4 per 100 000 women.
This study was developed in the last months of the management of Alfonso Navarrete Prida as state attorney general, after the then candidate of the PRD the state government of Mexico, Yeidckol Polevnsky Gurwitz, revealed that in the state were killed by violence 380 women per year, according to data from the special prosecutor in charge of solving PGR violent deaths of women in Ciudad Juárez.
PGJEM only recognizes the 346 intentional homicides against women in the six recent years. Of these fewer than half have been resolved. Martínez
Cranss states that except in cases of Chimalhuacan, you can not talk about a phenomenon of femicide in the state.
says that of the 346 intentional homicides of women committed between 2000 and 2006, the municipality Naucalpan with the highest incidence, with 32, followed Chimalhuacán with 30, with 27 and Toluca Ecatepec with 15.
''We do not minimize the problem, I contextualize and give the exact dimension that has to deal with it. It would be irresponsible to minimize it. Just please do not give the public data to create insecurity.''
Arturo Arango, who along with Cristina Lara Icesi prepared the study refutes the body of the PGJEM and ensures that this unit has a registration that hidden real terms.
''They only take into account the investigations that are initiated by voluntary manslaughter, but do not include those investigations that are initiated by injury and rape that end with the death of the woman. There is a high level of injured who die and are not corrected prior investigations, the left as if they were for injuries and not counted.''
Icesi The study-whose sources are reporting offices for Justice INEGI, forensic medical services and National Health System, says that in Toluca are committed each year, on average, 41 intentional homicides of women, the highest across the country.
Ecatepec is followed, with 33 murders, Naucalpan, 32, Nezahualcoyotl, 18, Tlalnepantla, 13, and Chimalhuacán, with 11.5. In Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, women accounted for 29.5 homicides per year.
The study of the Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights (CMDPDH) and the International Federation of Human Rights (FIHD), presented last week at the European Parliament, said that the rate of femicide in State of Mexico is 130 percent higher than the national average.
Studies of CMDPDH Icesi and emphasize that the state of Mexico also has the worst performance in homicide inquiries. While national efficiency is 21 convictions for every 100 homicides reported, in the state of Mexico just punished eight out of 100. This puts it in last place, ahead of only Tlaxcala, that sentence to seven of every 100 suspected killers of women, said Arturo Arango, the Icesi.
Fabian Sanchez, director of CMDPH, said the study shows that neither the Mexican nor the local authorities meet their obligations of prevention and are now required to be committed eight murders in Chimalhuacan to act.
''One would expect a much more immediate. You do not see the application of resources in prevention,''he added.

Edomex is not first in femicide: Peña Nieto.
El Sol de Toluca
Toluca, Mex .- The Governor Enrique Peña Nieto said that the State of Mexico, because of its population, is not the first place in number of femicide the country.
considered that there was "a commitment of political order" to claim otherwise, as it did just in an election year and estimated that if it is alert, there will have to issue one for more than 30 000 run we've had in recent years, without having achieved greater effectiveness in combating organized crime.
Following the award of the State Science and Technology 2010, Peña Nieto was questioned about the failure of the National System to Prevent, Treat, Punishment and Eradication of Violence. He denied the warning
requested by the National Citizens' Watch Femicide and the Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights under the pretext of an alarming increase in murders of women in the state.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 26 .- brutal murders to occur every day throughout the country. To braking is necessary to clarify what causes them. It has been said that the murders are a kind of hunting women, misogynist hatred product. Perhaps in many cases, yes, but an anthropologist Rita Laura Segato, this hypothesis becomes complex when it proposes to stop thinking about the femicide as a crime in which hatred of the victim is predominant and, instead, the poses as a form of communication between members of a phratry. Without denying the misogyny present in the environment where these crimes take place, Segato go to the victim and the disposal of a process in which these killings are the requirements, the price-to belong to a sinister brotherhood. Execute a woman serves to seal a pact of silence, able to ensure loyalty to a brotherhood mafia inviolable. So Segato calls these murders "crimes corporation" or "second state", defined by the group or corporation that manages network resources, rights and duties of a parallel state, firmly established in the region. That is, the mafia of the powers, such as drug cartels.
A reading wrong about preventing these crimes reflect on social issues where they are located, and machismo biased interpretations. When the murders in Ciudad Juárez Women began to take notoriety, authorities were reporting that the victims were prostitutes or loose women, who lived a disorderly life, who drank and caused her dress. Apparently they thought that they were not "decent women" lowered the government's responsibility to investigate, solve and stop these crimes. The killings were increasing from year to year, with the indifference and incompetence of the judicial, police and policies. Only when the international scandal was unstoppable began to worry more for his reputation and that of Ciudad Juarez by women themselves and future victims.
long been known that in other states grows committing these heinous crimes and not learn from the case of Ciudad Juárez, the authorities show a stunning lack of interest. The scandal is now in the State of Mexico, where supposedly there are more women murdered in Ciudad Juárez. Rather than expressing concern for clarifying what this sinister butcher, local authorities consider the request to the Interior Ministry and the Inmujeres by 90 researchers and 43 NGOs from 18 states of the republic in place the "gender alert" in the Edomex has electoral purposes, and are reluctant to agree to investigate the facts. In addition, following the sexist bias, the prosecutor Alfredo Castillo has said the victims were killed because they "use drugs, alcohol or inhalants used," plus "working in bars alternating with customers."
Years ago I compared the way the British authorities handled the case of five murders in Ipswich (Proceso 1573 December 24, 2006). Five sex workers were found dead, probably at the hands of a serial murderer. The entire UK will be shocked, but what public interest was whether the police would be effective enough to find the murderer before he killed more women. No one said that "they asked for it" or moralized about the risks of sex work, on the contrary, some editorialists criticized the fact that they had talked about the death of "five prostitutes" instead of "five women." And while the murderer is caught, the authorities asked the sex workers who do not ride at night and opened an unprecedented public policy: give the money and drugs they would get on the street, not to leave their homes. The murderer was arrested a week later. What a way to take responsibility for their citizens!
Far we are in Mexico and of civilized attitudes. But it is essential that the authorities, all, all parties in all states, to take seriously the frightening increase in the number of femicide. To more effectively prevent and prosecute these murders have to change the interpretive approach and accept preventive mechanisms as "gender alert." Instead of taking offense or suspect ulterior motives electoral Edomex authorities should not only take advantage of "gender alert", but publicly correct the interpretation that made her male judiciary.
The battle for the safety of everyone, not just for women, will be long and complex. But against this specific type of murder requires not only better police investigation, but also use the tools of preventive intervention that will result in the medium and long term. That is what "gender alert." It takes real political will to solve the crimes and stop its recurrence. The arrogant and macho stubbornness-the-vote-yes definitely Peña Nieto government only complicates matters further. What is it that you fear?
