WOLA has been publishing groundbreaking research on violence against women in Mexico and Guatemala for more than two years. Our most recent report on the subject, the widely-cited "Hidden in Plain Sight: Violence Against Women in Mexico and Guatemala" , was released in March this year.
The unsolved killings of more than 400 women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, since 1993, and the possibility that these murders will go unpunished due to the statute of limitations, was the subject of a story in The Washington Post on May 14 that cited WOLA's research.
