Mexico Apologizes for not Protecting Slain Women

http://news.yahoo.com/mexico-apologizes-not-protecting-slain-women-005157025.html

This article discusses the Mexican's government lack of action in investigating the slaying of three women in Juarez. This comes at the tail end of a wave of violence against women in Chihuahua and in Mexico generally. In the militarized state of political unrest that the country is in, women are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse and violence in general, especially activist women. The fact that the government is not taking active strides to protect it's women is unforgivable.
