The investigations carried out by the authorities into these feminicides are lacking because:

● They lose evidence and do not look into different lines of investigation.

● They do not apply a gender perspective as set out in the protocols for investigating violent deaths of women.

● Their failure to act forces the mothers, daughters and family members of victims of feminicide to spend time and money on investigation work that is the responsibility of the government, and to put pressure on the authorities to comply with their duties.

This seriously affects the families’ access to truth, justice, comprehensive reparation and guarantees of non-repetition.

The cases documented are: Nadia Muciño Márquez, disappeared and killed in 2004; Daniela Sánchez Curiel, disappeared in 2015, whereabouts currently unknown and whose family believe was a victim of feminicide; the case of Diana Velázquez Florencio, disappeared and killed in 2017; and the case of Julia Sosa Conde, disappeared and killed at the end of 2018.
