The Dangers of Being a Woman in Juárez
Somewhere south of here, and down a little farther to Texas, is a blogger that has dedicated much of his writing to missing children and women. I first met Steve when I was covering The Behl disappearance and subsequent murder. It has not been called that officially, but the Richmond police are building a leak proof case, and we are certain, there will be an indictment for murder.
Steve is very intent on making people aware of predators. He has been covering a disturbing events in Juárez. The extent of what has happened there, has been glossed over by the media, but it is serious, sad, and a sick situation, that needs attention. And, what is happening should not be swept under the rug.
Listen to what Steve writes:
"María is one of the lucky ones, with over 400 women murdered in Juárez they had to
create a word for this called femicide. "
Steve wants the world to look toward Juárez, perhaps with attention, more efforts will be made to solve this tragic catastrophe. So please, take a look at his post. What is happening in Juárez should not exist in our world.

Thanks for the nice words! I did go see the movie today and I will be writing my followup piece tomorrow. I was bombarded with over 100 emails this evening when I returned and none of them were spam so I have been busy.
I only have three blogs that I have bookmarked and your is one of them so Kudos there on the great writing.
This Juárez series should get interest in the next couple of parts. I have been to Juárez a few times and several other border towns including living and working in Matamoros for five years.

Steve keep me posted. What you are writing is signifcant, and needs attention. We will continue to ask people to see your posts.
Thanks
This is indeed a very disturbing situation and Steve is doing a fine job covering it! Thanks, Steve and Bob.
Thanks d.l. and Bob
I have finished part two and it very well may exceed my original guess of being a five part series.
