Amnesty International joined the call by United Nations experts for the Mexican state to fulfill its international obligations to protect searching women, who face violence and risks that, in some cases, lead to their own disappearance or murder.
In a statement, it recalled that in its report "Disappearing Again" it documented various forms of violence against women searching for disappeared persons, including forced displacement, stigmatization, and revictimization.
It also noted that Indigenous and migrant searching women face additional forms of discrimination that hinder their access to justice and services.
According to the organization, these conditions have consequences for the searchers' health and force them to assume high personal and economic costs while carrying out work that, in many cases, they undertake following the disappearance of relatives.
It also backed the call by United Nations specialists for Mexican authorities to adopt measures that guarantee the protection of searching women and fulfill the state's international human rights obligations.
