Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Since 1993 more than 400 women and girls have been tortured and brutally murdered in Ciudad Juarez. This fenomenon was neglected by the mexican authorities until 2003, when Mexico was submitted to unprecedented transnational pressure by a large group of national and international actors such as Amnesty International, the Washington Office on Latin America, the United Nations or the Interamerican Comission of Human Rights. Although Mexico has invested considerable resources and has taken a number of important measures to put an end to the situation, the murders still continue and justice has not been delivered to the families of the victims. In this paper I argue that, although the international society has not yet seen the desired results happen, this transnational pressure has triggered within the mexican authorities a process of socialization by which the country is moving towards the meeting of international standards regarding women´s rights protection and the mexican authorities have been entangled in a process of arguing. As a result of this now Mexico understands and signifies the Juarez problem in a different fashion.
