DIAZ MUNOZ, Consuelo. Cartographies of femicides in Ciudad Juárez: Ellas Tienen Nombre, analysis of an articulating proposal of collective memory. La ventana [online]. 2021, vol.6, n.54, pp.175-208.  Epub July 15, 2021. ISSN 1405-9436.

Ciudad Juárez is characterized, among other elements, by being one of the towns with the highest rates of femicides in Latin America. From this reality multiple self-managed initiatives arise with the purpose of seeking justice and keeping the women and girls who are no longer there in the collective memory of those who remain. In this line, Ellas Tienen Nombre poses a cartographic project that seeks to record the location of this type of crime and contribute to the construction of the victims' narrative. Thus, from the perspective of feminist geography, this article proposes the interpretation of this cartographic work as a narrative strategy that enhances memory and establishes itself as a multifunctional tool for critical analysis as a resource for visibility and comprehension of the territorial control of violence and impunity, providing the opening of a new space for discussion to understand the impact of femicide on the social tissue.

Keywords : feminist geography; feminist cartography; feminicide; collective memory.
