Interviews from Mexico - Femicides and Gender Violence

The issue of femicides and gender violence has taken on serious dimensions in Mexico. Earlier this year a "gender alert" was declared in 11 municipalities in the State of Mexico. But how is this mechanism to be implemented? Will it save lives? In today's program, host Laura Carlsen interviews feminist activist Yuritzi Hernandez and Irinea Buendía, whose daughter was murdered in 2010, and given authorities' indifference, has taken the case all the way to the Supreme Court, which in March ruled that the official investigation was flawed. teleSUR
