Gender Violence in Mexico Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This chapter analyzes gender-based violence in Mexico before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Various indicators related to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 5, “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls,” are analyzed. The fuzzy ordering method of Subjective Preferences is used to perform two multidimensional analyses, a global analysis that identifies the position of Mexico with regards to other countries in the American continent and an analysis that identifies the position of each of the states of the Mexican Republic. The results allow the authors to identify the countries with the lowest and highest prevalence of gender-based violence as well as the states of the Mexican Republic with the lowest and highest prevalence of gender-based violence.
