Abstract

The death of a young woman has reignited the conversation about the dangers of being a woman in Mexico, writes Kevin Zapata-Celestino. In May 2024, Valeria Márquez was murdered while she live streamed on TikTok. Márquez was a young Mexican influencer who posted videos about beauty and makeup. Her death has become international news because it painfully revives the ongoing issue of violence against women in Mexico.
