What is Happening To The Women Of Ciudad Juarez?

THIS IS REAL ppl... I live here in Cd. Juárez and is something real. In this month 50ppl have been murdered and most of them are women. And there's evidence/news that show that authorities are acually working with criminals (obviously not all of them). There is not that much what we can do. Right now im studying medicine and i go everyday at 6:45am to a hospital. Some guys and i have already created a team and everyday we wait in a parking which is about 200mt away from the hospital. All we do is waiting for the girls that also go to that hospital and walk with them so they dont walk alone from the parking to the hospital and around. They say that since we started doing this they feel more secure, most of them were afraid of walking all alone cus there are stories of students being atacked. actually last week a student recieved a bullet in the leg because someone was trying to take her and she defended her self, thanks god someone apeared and scared the atackers so nothing happned to the lady, except for the injure of her leg. This is sad :( We really need you ppl. Pray for us. Pray for Juárez (Sorry for the bad english :) )

"I don't want anything else, I just want my daughter." Absolutely heartbreaking.

Heartbreaking. Brings me to tears how sick and corrupt the Mexican government is ignoring these poor people.

I have to say this is probably one of the best videos BuzzFeed has made as of recent. It tells a story that nobody knows about and informs them completely.

Ugh. This women's story broke my heart. Hearing the hurt and pain in her voice broke me. Please dear fellow commenters be respectful and mindful of a fellow humans pain and loss..

This is actually terrible... i have a younger sister and I can't imagine losing her and finding out something so horrible happened to her. I wish more places would draw attention to this because I didnt have a clue

My friend was raped last year and she's only just opened up,the guy has not denied it and everyone's acting like it's her fault it makes me sick. his friends back him up and say "at least he got some" I confronted his friends about it and they just called me names I want to just slap him

I am so disgusted with humanity, why can't we just love and respect each others as humans ?

Thank you buzzfeed for educatinng people on whats going on in Mexico!!

The comment section disgust me. You have people commenting for likes and attention instead of soaking in how dire this situation is.

And when they come to the U.S. for a better life, they still suffer with the hate and the injustice that U.S. carries... so unreal 💔

I am from Juárez, just moved to the United States almost 2 years ago, when I was 19 years old. I remember when femicide rates starting going alarmingly up, it was scary to go out, even if with people around, you will always be advised to keep a low profile so you wouldn't take the attention of someone unwanted. But that wasn't the worst of all. What I think was most terrifying about it, is that I remember being scared, but as the years went by and the homicides kept happening, I could feel myself grow indifferent towards it, because I knew nothing was going to change. I no longer felt scared, because I became accustomed to be alert all the time, it is a horrible thing to get used to stuff like this. Thank you BuzzFeed, for bringing attention towards this situation, from someone whose heart lives in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.

This horrifies me...

I hope the government will step up and do something about this.

"Maybe it's because whenever I was sick, she would always kiss my forehead.". This made me tear up.

Wow... this is insane... I'm having the topic mexico in spanish class right now and I have to show this to my teacher... this is insane. I feel deeply disgusted and ashamed of humanity. Why don't we all just go?

This is sad

This is so infuriating, this is an issue that we need to put an end to, and people are commenting ridiculous comments, that are the top comments? That doesn't make any sense.

this makes me so sad.. the government sucks in Mexico. i pray for the best for my people..

This is something we really need to talk about. Think 9 woman every single day are killed because of this. It disgusts me that some men think its ok to do this to women because of their gender. We need to put an end to this. Thank you buzzfeed for creating awareness on this topic. Sending prayers to all the families that have lost someone in their family because of this! <3
