The live -streamed killing of an influencer could be a female – a misunderstood crisis | Arwa Mahdawi

Justice for Valeria Márquez

Valeria Márquez was killed on one of the terribly public possibilities. On Tuesday evening, the 23-year-old Mexican Social Media Influencer, which had built up a large followers with videos about beauty and make-up, has a tictok livestream in the beauty salon in which she worked in Jalalco, a state in West Central Mexico. A man entered the establishment and shot her dead with her video.

Many details of the case are still unclear. However, according to a statement by the public prosecutor Jalisco, Márquez 'death is examined as a female.

Femicide is defined as the deliberate killing of a woman or a girl with gender -specific motivations. (The term to kill men because of their gender, something that occurred during the war and genocide is Androcide.)

While Femicide is a universal and centuriesal topic, it is difficult to know. Sometimes it is intentionally misunderstood by some men's rights activists who like to argue that it is an un existent problem because men make up the majority of the victims (and perpetrators) of the murder. So it is worth clearing out the parameters of the female female. When a woman is killed in a robbery. If it is killed by an ex-boyfriend who sees women more as the property of men than autonomous people, then it is femal. “Honor” murders are obviously also female.

We are missing a lot of data about femicide. “Too many victims of femica are still countless victims: For about four out of ten intentional murders of women and girls, there is not enough information to identify them as gender -specific murders, since the national differences in the recording of the criminal justice and the investigation in a report last year wrote in a report.

Name the problem – to understand why femizine differs from the murder – is important because it helps us to solve it. If more institutions took women 'hostility and domestic violence seriously, we would see fewer dead women. In a report by the World Health Organization, for example, it is clear that “stronger weapons laws related to men who were previously cited for abuse of intimate partners or convicted of intimate partners are of particular importance in order to reduce female rates”.

Justice for Márquez not only includes finding their murderer and ensuring that they are punished. If this was femica, this means that the misogyny that led to her death is very clear. It means keeping all legislators and institutions that immortalize this misogyny. Justice means understanding that her death was not a tragic unique, but part of a much bigger problem.

“When I die, I want to death,” wrote the Palestinian photojournalist Fatima Hassouna shortly before it was killed by an Israeli air raid this year. “I don't just want to break messages or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an effect that remains over time …”

This quote has followed me since I read it. So many women who die premature and violent deaths die silent deaths. They become statistics. Márquez must not only become another female statistics. Leave your death, which is directed to female in the spotlight. Let it have an influence that stays over time.

The US military buys a lot of Viagra

The big Viagra budget, which has been widespread for years, is not problematic in itself. The problem is that the government has no problem spending this money on the well-being of gender care for CIS men, but repeatedly screaming that trans-people flow out resources. The issue is again in the news after a judge in the Talbott case, who questions Trump's transgender military ban, has determined that the military spends eight times more for medication for erectile dysfunction than for gender-known care for trans-service members.

British woman unkissibly had a criminal record for 56 years because he was lesbian

The 78-year-old Liz Stead was thrown out of the military in 1969 when higher ups called out the proof (a love letter) of sapphic activity. She also received a criminal conviction for “perceived same sexual activity”. As the BBC reports, she only received the conviction when requesting a program, the tax authorities for veterans who were dismissed during a homosexuality ban.

Ms. Rachel gets hideous abuse because he takes care of the dead and mutilated Palestinian children

Due to the fact that Israel does not allow international journalists to be murdered in Gaza and the Palestinian journalists and helper workers who are caught in the enclave, it is impossible to know how many children have now been killed or starved. But we know that there are more children's amplifiers in the Gaza Strip than somewhere else in the world, and according to an estimate, Israel kills a child in Gaza every 45 minutes. We also know that small children who survive, in these formative years, will never have traumatized from malnutrition and traumatized. While many people were silent about a genocide, which was financed and made possible by the United States, Great Britain and Europe, the children's teacher and entertainer Rachel Accurso (known and loved by parents of small children as a woman Rachel) talked about children in Gaza. And she is predictable for this – including a piece in the New York Times, which reinforces the groundless, ridiculous and dangerous claims that Hamas can be financed.

There is an emissions of gender -specific gap

A French study has shown that men radiate 26% more pollution because they eat more red meat and drive more. Of course, we all have to be aware of our environmental impacts, but it is increasingly senseless when billionaires into the grocery store on their private jets and Warmons pollute the planet. Last year the Guardian reported on a study in which it was found that “[t]The planet heating emissions generated in the first two months of the war in the Gaza Strip were greater than the annual CO2 footprint of more than 20 most climatic nations in the world. “
