Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Since 1993, Ciudad Ju�rez acquired fame from the horrors of sexualized killings, mainstreamed in media and popular culture. Young women, raped and mutilated before death, were dumped in the desert periphery of Mexico's fifth largest city, or on occasion, city streets. Police demonstrated little interest in finding the killers, solving the crimes, or preventing violence. Mothers of the victims organized dramatically to seek justice, followed with human rights and feminist activists from Mexico, the U.S. and transnational NGOs like Amnesty International and Women in Black. In this paper, I focus on general border women-killing, including non-spectacular domestic-violence fatalities and the everyday conditions that can lead to murder, including interpersonal and domestic violence. My framework focuses on institutions as they intersect with everyday life. I argue that both government and non-governmental institutions belatedly framed general violence against women as a legitimate criminal and human rights offense worthy of organized attention in the region.
