And while femicides have decreased since he took office, the numbers remain alarming, with around 520 murders so far this year. In the small state of Morelos, just outside the capital, Mexico City, four students have been murdered since January, including a Spanish woman who was on an exchange program. The state has one of the highest femicide rates in the country. The latest killings have sparked outrage among feminist activists, who say Mexico remains plagued by gender violence and a culture of impunity. Report by Quentin Duval and Laurence Cuvillier of FRANCE 24, with Ed Augustin.
