Between Jan 2012 and June 2016, 9,581 women were violently murdered in Mexico, but just 1,887 were categorized as femicides. Mexican authorities are unwilling to face the rising tide of violence against woman, and domestic violence, trafficking, and prostitution remain hidden from public view and public discourse. We meet with the victims' families, survivors, and perpetrators and analyze, together with anthropologists, why there is so much machismo and misogyny in Mexican culture.
