The interactive Femicides in Mexico Map, the most comprehensive and up-to-date of its kind in the country, is – according to its fundraising page – a “citizen-led, civic, independent initiative based on open data which, using geographical coordinates, has been mapping cases of femicide since 2016″. So far, it has recorded 2,355 cases.
The map’s creator uses the practical definition of the United Nations model protocol for the investigation of gender-related killings of women, which defines “femicide” as:
#mexique #féminicide #violence #droits_des_femmes
the murder of women because they are women, whether it is committed within the family, a domestic partnership, or any other interpersonal relationship, or by anyone in the community, or whether it is perpetrated or tolerated by the state or its agents.4
It’s Time to Talk About Feminicide
Masculine superiority, though contested today, continues to be defended by the dominant patriarchal system. It is visible in everyday life and is sometimes the source of horrendous gender-based violence. This #violence knows no borders or limits. It takes on multiple forms, including feminicide.

The Web Is Too Quiet. It’s Time to Pump Up the Volume | Wired Opinion | Wired.com
►http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/08/ap_thompson
The web,” as venture capitalist Fred Wilson has said, “is still too quiet.”
But a few of the noisier places on the net are getting louder. The audio-sharing site #SoundCloud (in which Wilson is an investor) has been online since 2008, but it’s now inching toward YouTube-like status.
Users upload 12 hours of audio every minute.
To really unlock the informational power of sound, though, we need more tools to make it plastic, parsable, and findable.
How about a search engine for sound? Or imagine a Wikipedia of audio—a worldwide effort to collect and record what the everyday world sounds like. Capture enough of it and, like Rawes, we might discover fascinating new ways to understand the world.
