Two weeks ago the Mexican Supreme Court defined the murder of Mariana Lima Buendía as a gender-based murder, but much more could be done by the courts to address this issue. According to official statistics, more than seven femicides a day occur in Mexico, and over the past 28 years 44,000 women have been murdered. Yet authorities have brought very few perpetrators of femicide to justice. Mariana's mother, Irinea Buendía, continues to denounce the fact that her daughter's murderer walks free today.
