Unwelcome Expectancy
Using the simulated client technique, this study examines pregnancy discrimination in hiring processes and shows how pregnancy hinders women's employment opportunities as a combined effect of gender biases and institutional incentives that discourage the hiring of pregnant women. The analysis focuses on recruiters' responses to pregnant and nonpregnant job seekers and reveals that the rejection of pregnant applicants is still explicitly communica…

Unmasking pregnancy discrimination in Mexico. A longitudinal analysis of a national survey
Violencia y victimización de niño/as y adolescentes
La violencia y victimización de niños/as y adolescentes mexicanos ha recibido poca atención académica y gubernamental en comparación con la destinada a las personas adultas. Los datos sobre la prevalencia del fenómeno son hallazgos de las encuestas con representatividad nacional; no obstante, tienen limitaciones. Con el objetivo de contribuir a su conocimiento, se desarrollaron dos cuestionarios de una encuesta para medir de manera holística esta…
Mistreatment, Abuse, and Gender-Based Violence During Childbirth
This longitudinal retrospective study of mistreatment, abuse, and gender-based violence during childbirth uses two population representative samples of Mexican women to analyze the incidence of obstetric violence in Mexico from 2011 to 2021. Our assessment is that there are more continuities than changes in the phenomenon and our study does not find evidence to support the claims of increases in obstetric violence during the 2020–2021 COVID-19 pa…
Femicide and Feminicide in Mexico
The killing of women in Mexico has attracted both national and international attention. Many of these homicides are regarded as feminicides, which are defined as the misogynistic killing of women for reasons of gender rooted in ideological and structural gender inequalities. This study examines changes and continuities in female homicides and femicides from 2001 to 2017 in indigenous and non-indigenous municipalities. Female homicides have increa…
Tensiones y conflictos entre roles y responsabilidades en distintas esferas de la vida. El caso de una institución de la administración pública federal mexicana
Desde una perspectiva de género, se estudia el nivel de tensiones derivadas por tener que desempeñarse tanto en la esfera laboral y familiar que experimentan los/as empleados de una dependencia de la administración federal, con una cultura institucional del presentismo y largas jornadas laborales. Mujeres y hombres experimentan niveles de conflicto semejantes, pero las mujeres renuncian en mayor medida que los hombres a sus tiempos personales, a …

Obstetric Violence in Mexico
Obstetric violence has not received the same amount of interest as other forms of violence against women (VAW). We assess the prevalence and factors associated with experiences of obstetric violence (obstetric abuse and violence, and nonconsensual care) among women between 15 and 49 years of age in their latest childbirth within the last 5 years by using the 2016 National Survey on Household Relationship Dynamics. ( N = 24,126 women). A total of …

El HAS se conceptualiza como una forma de mantener el estatus de género y jerárquico. De 10.3% de las personas que lo han experimentado el último año, la mayo…
Homicide of children and adolescents in Mexico (1990–2013)
The trends and correlates of child and juvenile homicide rates in three developmental age groups (0-5, 6-11, and 12-17) during 1990–2013 in Mexico are examined by using vital statistical data. Homicide rates for adults and children were calculated yearly and the place where homicides occurred and the means used to commit homicide examined. Changes and continuities in homicide rates during 2002–2007 and 2008–2013 and their association with socio-e…
After Rape
Using a mixed-methods design, this study examines the prevalence of women’s rape by someone other than an intimate partner in Mexico, women’s formal help-seeking strategies and their access to emergency healthcare in state attorney agencies. 18 out of every 10,000 Mexican women were raped during 2011. Only 8.37% of them sought help in law-enforcement agencies and less than 1% in public health services. Specialized agencies in sexual crimes tend t…
Family and Partner Violence Against Women
This article examines the reasons why and the circumstances in which Mexican women from seven indigenous communities in Oaxaca and Chiapas married or began a common-law relationship against their will, and the role played by their families. A recent national survey shows that 4.1 per cent of indigenous women was obliged to marry and 4.8 per cent was sold. This practice is conceptualized as an expression of both family and partner violence against…

Strategies and Help-Seeking Behavior Among Mexican Women Experiencing Partner Violence
According to a recent Mexican survey, 10.72% of women have at some point experienced sexual partner violence, and 23.71% physical violence at the hands of their current or last partner. Using this survey and a series of semi-structured interviews with experts, this study used a mixed-methods approach to examine, first, whether women who experienced violence turned to law enforcement agencies for help, and the characteristics of these women. Secon…
Ethnic heterogamy and the risk of partner violence in Mexico
A common stereotype holds that in Mexico male violence toward women is common among indigenous peoples and reflects cultural norms that sanction a male's domination of his female partner. We employ a recent Mexican survey to examine the relative risk of violence against women as a function of the couple's ethnic homogamy. Among couples in which both partners are either non-indigenous or indigenous the female's risk of partner violence is similar.…
Beyond Borders
We employ two surveys to identify similarities and differences in the risk of abuse among poor urban Mexican-origin women in the United States and Mexico. While the two surveys reveal basic structural similarity in the predictors of partner violence, the rate of violence among Mexican women is far lower than among either foreign-born or native-born Mexican origin women in the United States. While these differences may reflect reality, we argue th…

Results. Over half the women who reported violence …

The Risk of Partner Violence Among Low-Income Hispanic Subgroups
Women with few social resources are at elevated risk of partner abuse. Certain evidence suggests that African American and Hispanic women, who are overrepresented in the lower socioeconomic strata, are at particularly high risk. We compare women's risk of partner violence, defined as moderate and severe, among 2,400 low-income African American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic Whites from "Welfare, Children and Families: A Three City Study" and find th…

Determinants of Household Insurance Coverage Among Low‐Income Families from Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio
Objectives. In this article we examine correlates of health insurance coverage for low‐income households. Methods. Using data from the Welfare, Children, and Families Project (1999–2001), a sample of 2,402 low‐income families from Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio, we estimate two logistic regressions, one that predicts health insurance coverage for one focal child in each household and another that assesses the odds that all children in the house…
