Hello my name is Melissa W. Wright I am an Associate Professor of Geography in the

Department of Women’s Studies at Pennsylvania State University. One of the things I focus on is

the emergence of an international social movement that protest violence against women along

the Mexico- US border. I am the author of Disposable Women and Other Myths of Global

Capitalim(2006). I wrote an article on Narcopolitics and femicide. It is about Gendered violence

on the Mexico-U.S. border. Dr. Carrillo’s class read this article.


       I argue in this article that the narcopolitics and femicide are interrelated problems.

Narcropolitics is a form of informal governance related to drug and drug trafficking. I believe the

Mexican government is involved in narcopolititcs. The Mexican government blames the deaths

in Juarez and throughout Mexico on the drug wars and argues that those who are murdered were

involved in the drug trade. In this way, the government blame the victims. The government

argues that the ones who are committing the murder are the narcos which in English stands for

drug lord; and that they are committing the murder against other narcos. Consequently, these

murders are “justified” according to some officials in Mexico, making it unfair for the victims’

families.


       Due to patriarchy and the gender power structure, the deaths of the females in Ciudad

Juarez is linked to narcopolitics because the gender and sex of females is always subordinate to

that of males in all contexts of society including when drugs are involved. Females are victims of

this subordination in a very violent way. However, we also know that females are actively

involved with drugs trafficking. So they are also caught up in that way.


       I believe that narcopolitics and femicide are a major issues happening in Ciudad Juarez

and both are in need of attention as they are distinct phenomena that are also interrelated.
