Feminicide in Ciudad Juárez

Watched a very sad movie named Bordertown. This movie gives us a glimpse of the true story of thousands of Mexican women in a small border town called Ciudad Juárez who are raped, abused and murdered brutally. These violent deaths has been happening from 1993 and sadly it continues even today.

I'm shocked and angry towards those sick animals who murder these innocent women (most of them are as young as 15 years old), the careless and completely corrupt Mexican government, and the big corporations (both American and Mexican companies using NAFTA) who benefit from the maquiladoras (assembly plants), where most (or all) of these women work.

I can't imagine what these women would have gone thru'. I wish that the Mexican government takes these feminicide cases more seriously and put the real culprits behind bars.
