The writer almost buries the lede:
Authorities have not named a suspect, but police said that her murder is being investigated as a potential feminicide – the killing of women and girls on the basis of gender, which has become a growing problem in Mexico.
That's insane. What's the deal with this femicide in Mexico?
It seems the person who shot her was another woman. You can see a person, who is most likely the murderer, pick up the camera right after the shooting.
Valeria, I hope your positivity never ceases to spread.
It's not my kind of content, but if anyone has any suggestions of some her videos (not hosted on tiktok), please drop a link.
In running a search on the topic, I came across a wiki article, in which was stated the following:
Up to a third of female murder victims in Mexico are murdered by their current or ex-partners.[5] This violence has been attributed to the backlash theory, which alleges that as a marginalized group gains more rights in society, there is a violent backlash from their oppressors.[1] Notably, Indigenous women—who make up 15% of the population—are at a higher risk of gender-based violence like femicide due to economic marginalization and limited access to health and government protections.[6] Additionally, with geographic isolation and gender inequality, there are minimal methods of effective intervention and victim support.[7] The response from the Mexican government has been minimal; there is very little legislation protecting women.[8] This lack of response further discourages individuals or groups from speaking out about or challenging this phenomenon.[2] Local police and government officials are known to dismiss instances of women going missing, and have been found to be connected to some cases of violence against women.[2] There have been many small feminist movements that have attempted to bring attention to the level of violence Mexican women face.[9] These movements primarily focus their efforts on demonstrations, sharing their own experiences, and creating works of art to express their frustrations.[2]
Rather than post just the part about backlash theory, I copied the whole paragraph because it needs to be seen.
Wow. Thanks for the info. That is so heartbreaking.
"[pigs] have been found to be connected to some cases of violence against women"
Yeah, they'll do that.
Early reports suggest she was involved romantically with a cartel man high in the hierarchy, and very likely killed by him or more likely put on a hit by him, happens quite a lot.
I don't know anything about her but it's fairly obvious she has done a lot of cosmetic surgery which is highly correlated to narco culture in México. Young ppl get impressed by the cash flaunted by narcojuniors, girls get romantically involved then get sponsored surgeries, and get killed when the narco feels jealous or smt.
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
