  ABSTRACT: This paper studies the problem of femicide in Mexico, through three axes: violence, femicide and human rights. We interpret this phenomenon using Johan Galtung’s theory of violence as a framework, paired with concepts from Bourdieu, Segato, Lagarde and Russell, with whom he agrees in regards of the multiplicity of elements, levels and scopes of violence, but that also complement the voids in his original theory. We seek to unveil the divers dimensions in which femicidal violence operates, as well as its negative consequences, direct and collateral damages, and its multiple victims. Our theoretical approach intends to provide certain guidelines to reflect and humanize the victims, and also a deeper understanding of the contexts where it happens, emphasizing that these crimes eliminate women’s subjectivity and desensitize society, as such they are violations of women’s Human Rights.
