For over a decade, hundreds of women have been murdered in the frontier town of Ciudad Juárez. Over 370 women have been gang-raped, found savagely mutilated with ritualistic markings, burnt and dumped in the Chihuahua desert. In addition to the murders, the women of Juárez are victim to widespread domestic violence. Juárez is also infamous for its corruption and lays claim to one of the largest drug cartels on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, using the Texan town of El Paso as a portal to smuggle illegal drugs into the United States. With a new book Harvest of Women by Diana Washington Valdez directly linking the "femicide" to members of the drug cartel, the situation in Juárez is once again international news. |

This is not an "official list" of the murdered women of Juárez. In fact, there are no official lists available from police authorities. This list was painstakingly compiled by Esther Chavez Cano from police reports found in the Juárez newspapers. It is taken from the book Puro Border (edited by Luis Humberto Crosthwaite, John William Byrd & Bobby Byrd). |
