In Mexico, gender violence has become a growing and alarming issue. A direct evidence of this is crime involving the violent and deliberate killing of a woman on the mere fact of being a woman. Femicide, as the highest level of gender violence against women from a patriarchy system having as purpose women subjugation, is preceded by a series of atrocious treatments revealing hate and scorn for women. In this article, we will analyze nine stories written by Mexican women, whose protagonists denounce the sad reality of a country where a patriarchy system is widespread concealing women as useless objects. Nevertheless, we conclude we all need to change this little by little. We must educate ourselves -women and men- following gender equity principles, new male conceptions free from violence, based on respect for others.

Palabras llave : Gender violence; Femicide; Patriarchy; Gender equity; New male conceptions.
