In Mexico, ten days ago, the particularly brutal assassination of Ingrid Escamilla, a young woman of 25 years, in the capital, outraged the country. Especially since the Mexican tabloids did not hesitate to publish explicit photos of the victim's body. In a country where ten women are murdered every day, it is a reminder of the extent to which violence against women is a social problem. In recent days, mobilisations have multiplied in the country.
