In Mexico, the numbers bleed, and concrete becomes an altar.
There’s not a single day without a body, not a night without tears. And no one is even scared anymore.
Horror became routine.
Death, just part of the scenery.
Impunity, the national anthem.
“In 2023, INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Geography) reported more than 3,500 femicides and disappearances of women and girls.”
But they’re just numbers… right?
No. They are names.
The "Índice de paz México" shows what anyone walking down an alley already knows:
Gender violence is rising.
Women aren’t safe at home, on the street, or at school. And the State? Just a spectator—sometimes even a partner in crime.
Here, there’s no justice—just paperwork.
No punishment—just files.
And when they kill you, your mother has to move heaven and earth just to get someone to say, “Yes, it was femicide.”
Like that changes anything.
You don’t need stats to know that Mexico smells like buried bodies.
You just have to remember Fátima. (The girl with red socks.)
7 years old.
7 damn years.
She left school. No one picked her up.
A woman lured her.
Handed her to the killer.
They tortured her.
They killed her.
And did other things I won’t even mention.
Then left her in a trash bag.
Like her life didn’t matter.
Like her body was just garbage in a country that’s lost its soul.
And the State?
Nothing. If not for activist Frida Guerrero, the case wouldn’t even be known.
She pushed the authorities to start looking. To finally identify her.
Here, girls die twice:
Once, when someone kills them.
Again, when people stop caring.
But it’s not just Fátima. It’s thousands.
Beaten women, buried in pits, dumped in rivers, etc.
From 2016 to 2021, over 56% of femicides went unpunished.
That’s not an accident. That’s a system. A broken system.
Bureaucracy hiding behind cold neglect.
In 2021, only 27% of violent deaths of women were even classified as femicide, ignoring the Supreme Court's order to investigate every violent death of a woman as such.
But here, the law is garbage.
And mothers, sisters, daughters become numbers, forgotten files, nameless graves.
The rot isn’t just in the killers—
It’s in the silence of those who should protect.
Meanwhile, people?
Busy with their stupid narco culture.
Ignoring problems because stupid football,
Posting stupid videos,
Making jokes,
Consuming trash,
Worshipping narcos,
Sleeping like this country isn’t one big cemetery.
I write this because it shouldn’t stay hidden.
Because hashtags don’t clean up blood.
Because blood doesn’t wash away with shitty and rotten political campaigns.
Because this country needs to scream from deep inside.
And remember: no matter where you are, if you see something like this happening in your country, don’t be part of the silence.
Name them. Speak up. Make people uncomfortable.
Because every forgotten name means a death that happens again.

I know this post is kind of old but I am a 2nd generation Mexican. Two girls not over the age of 14 where abducted at my family's church in Mexico. A teen boy that goes there was brutally beat in his home by robbers. It crushes my soul to see the hate and corruption in not only in Mexico but the world.
