This mobilization is a parable of women's struggle for human rights because the factors that cause gender-based violence in Mexico are common throughout the world, the authorities' failure to punish those crimes constitutes a form of gender discrimination that is prevalent throughout the world, and the imperative for Mexican women to mobilize in defense of their own human rights is shared by women throughout the world. This struggle involves a double transformation: the transformation of women's organizations into human rights organizations and the transformation of human rights advocacy through the integration of the gender perspective
