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 increased at a higher rate than femicides, but the latter has increased at a higher rate in indigenous municipalities than in non-indigenous municipalities. This is associated with an increase in gender equality in a context of conflict and structural discrimination against indigenous peoples. Implications for future research and public interventions are discussed.

墨西哥杀害妇女的事件引起了国内和国际的关注。这些凶杀案中有许多被视为杀害女性，其定义为基于意识形态和结构性性别不平等的性别原因对女性进行的厌恶女性杀戮。本研究调查了 2001 年至 2017 年土著和非土著城市女性凶杀案和杀害女性案件的变化和连续性。女性凶杀案的增加率高于杀害女性案，但后者在土著自治市的增加率高于非土著自治市。这与在对土著人民的冲突和结构性歧视背景下性别平等的增加有关。讨论了对未来研究和公共干预的影响。
