Excellent article about the situation in Juárez and that situation as an example of a problem throughout Latin America.
great quote:
“We have a lot of people here who are like the Taliban,” she said. “They don’t make us wear burqas, but they kill us. It’s part of the despotism of the border region. They also don’t want to let us into factories to educate women. They say we might organize unions, and they’re deathly afraid of authentic unions.”
Also, here's a great page of Coco Fusco's with lots of information and photos on Juárez. There's a link to page about a FloodNet action coming up to demand a stop to the femicide, October 31 and November 2.
