%X This paper studies the problem of femicide in Mexico, through three axes:
violence, femicide and human rights. We interpret this phenomenon using Johan
Galtung¡¯s theory of violence as a framework, paired with concepts from
Bourdieu, Segato, Lagarde and Russell, with whom he agrees in regards of the
multiplicity of elements, levels and scopes of violence, but that also
complement the voids in his original theory. We seek to unveil the divers
dimensions in which femicidal violence operates, as well as its negative
consequences, di<span>rect and collateral damages,
and its multiple victims. Our theoretical ap</span>proach intends to provide
certain guidelines to reflect and humanize the victims, and also a deeper
understanding of the contexts where it happens, emphasizing that these crimes
eliminate women¡¯s subjectivity and desensitize society, as such they are
violations of women¡¯s Human Rights.
