"The women subjected to such violence are mostly young and from low income backgrounds. The multiple and intersecting discrimination these women face because of their gender, age and socio-economic situation increases their risk of being arbitrarily arrested and tortured or ill-treated," the statement said.
The report found that many women arrested and imprisoned are single parents and face discrimination simply for not conforming to widely accepted gender expectations, such as having a male partner.
Sex workers in Mexico also often find themselves at risk of torture and ill-treatment during arrest or in detention, the report said, as do women who are bisexual or lesbian.
O boo hoo. Really. But come to the US and then screech about the racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia and "rape culture" here.
And they're not "single
parents", they're unmarried women with illegitimate kids. Viva Mehico!
