In the first 10 days of June, eight more women were murdered in North Santander, Colombia. The women’s group Madres del Catatumbo por la Paz condemned the media’s framing of the assassinations, stating that femicide reflects a patriarchal mindset where men act as if they “own” women and can control their lives. They contend that being a woman is no justification for being murdered.
