Female Mayor Assassinated in Mexico Amid Historic Presidential Win

Mexico's President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum, the country's first female leader, faces a significant challenge in addressing the ongoing crisis of violence against women, with an estimated 10 women and girls killed daily. The recent murder of Mayor Yolanda Sánchez highlights the severity of the issue. The militarization of public security under the current administration has exacerbated the danger for women, with many cases of violence and femicide going unpunished due to impunity and inconsistent legal definitions across states.
