New York Times front page highlights Debanhi and missing women cases in Mexico

The text emphasizes the disappearances in Nuevo Leon that occurred last month

One of the world’s most influential newspapers is, without a doubt, the New York Times who recently published the Debanhi case as well as the cases of other missing women in Mexico on their front page. The title of the article is “A woman disappears in Mexico. She is one of many thousands” written by Óscar López.

The text is practically a compilation of data that we already know about Debanhi Escobar’s disappearance: she was abandoned by her friends on April 9 and was found dead 13 days later nearby.

Likewise, the text emphasizes the Nuevo Leon disappearances that have occurred in the last month and shows the more than 24,000 women that have disappeared in the country while authorities have failed to provide an answer to families.

In fact, the New York Times added that families are desperate and have resorted to taking matters into their own hands by finding their daughters, sisters, and wives, putting their lives in danger with the sole goal of finding them.

A few weeks ago the news outlet Expansión MX stated that in the 1,241 days since current Mexican President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, took office there has been an average of 21 women disappearing every day, higher numbers registered than with Felipe Calderón and Enrique Peña Nieto together.

Likewise, the National Registry of Missing and Non-Localized People states that the 10 Mexican with the highest amount of missing people are: State of Mexico, Guanajuato, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Jalisco, Chihuahua, Mexico City, Puebla, Yucatan, and Sinaloa.

Unfortunately, Mexico has become international news again due to the violence occurring in the country. Only a few months ago, the killing of journalists caused commotion and became worldwide news.
