HINCAPIE, SANDRA. Collective Action of Women and Human Rights in Mexico: Mobilizing Pain Amid the Armed Conflict. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.2, pp.97-127. ISSN 0124-0579.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/sociojuridicos/a.5255.

This article explains how the current human rights crisis affects women in Mexico. It is argued that this context affects women in two different ways: on the one hand, women have become targets of criminal organizations, using them as a means of income and a weapon of war. On the other hand, in this same scenario, a growing process of collective action has been developed by women who have adopted the language of human rights as a frame of identity and mobilization resource, claiming justice, promoting accountability and Effective action by the state authorities, which has contributed to broadening the field of defense of human rights.

Palavras-chave : Collective action; human rights; organized crime; women; Mexico.
