Last week I posted here a call for urgent help for the relatives of the murdered and disappeared women and girls of Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. I would like to have your attention towards their campaign in general. For over 10 years women and girls are being disappeared and some of them found murdered under horrible and brutal circumstances in the border city Ciudad Juarez of the federal state Chihuahua in Mexico and the desert around the city. Since 1993 there have been more than 460 women murdered and over 600 disappeared. The authorities are not doing anything substantial and in many cases they are boycotting the investigations. On the other hand the relatives and friends of the victims, as well as foreign scientists and organisations are trying to make aware of the problem and to push the authorities in the US and Mexico to handle. Scientists are calling this phenomenon a femicidio (femicide), that 's a crime against humanity. The organisation nuestras hijas de regreso a casa is doing awareness work.Two years ago, I had the honour to host a remarkable woman of the organisation, who spoke on the subject in Leipzig, Germany. If you have a minute left just check the following link and sign the petition of the organisation towards the US- and Mexican authorities. Thanks a lot.

Justice for the women
of Ciudad Juarez
Dear Mr. President,
I am very concerned of the situation of women in your country and especially in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. As far as I know the past 15 years many women have been disappeared and the local and federal authorities haven t achieved to find them or to punish the persons, who executed, planed or supported the crimes mentioned.
I believe that you must once and for all stop the crimes against women in Ciudad Juarez (and in whole Mexico).
I believe that you must stop protecting the authorities, who are not doing their job, who are not fighting against the crimes and the injustice and who are supporting or even executing the crimes against the human rights of women.
I believe that you must have the power to do it.
I am also deeply concerned of the situation of the relatives of the victims. As far as I know they have been threaten and their lives are in danger.
I believe that you must immediately stop the aggression and protect the relatives from the aggressors.
I believe that you must call the authorities to protect them at any cost.
I believe that you must fire every person in the justice and police system, who is not doing his constitutional job.
I believe that you must have the courage to do it.
Yours sincerely
