Visual highlighting the two logics shaping femicide response in Mexico. Formal Institutions focus on metrics and protocols; Grassroots actors center urgency, visibility, and community care—often filling the gaps left by the state.

Article: bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
Infographic titled “Two Logics of Femicide Response in Mexico,” showing a side-by-side comparison of formal institutional actors and grassroots/community actors. The left column, in blue tones, lists institutional approaches: prevention defined as legal harmonization; strategies focused on trainings and benchmarks; long-term planning cycles; authority based on bureaucratic legitimacy; effectiveness measured through metrics; and low trust and accessibility due to bureaucracy. The right column, in gold tones, summarizes grassroots approaches: prevention defined through visibility, symbolic justice, and urgent action; strategies like vigils, murals, accompaniment, and memorials; immediate response driven by grief and risk; authority grounded in survivor experience and community trust; effectiveness measured through relational outcomes such as belonging and safety; and high accessibility rooted in local knowledge. Citation at bottom: Valencia González (2025), BMC Public Health.

Perks of academia: writing from the dog park.
