In a horrible instance of incomprehensible violence, beauty influencer Valeria Marquez was murdered during her live stream just after she received a cute stuffed animal.
CNN and other news agencies have described the murder as femicide (the killing of a woman or girl for gender-based reasons), which is chilling in itself.
According to the state of Jalisco’s Attorney General’s office, Marquez was shot dead by a male intruder into her salon in a case it is investigating as a suspected femicide – the killing of a woman or girl for gender-based reasons.
The death of Marquez – a public figure with more than 100,000 Instagram followers – has sent shockwaves through a country that has long struggled with high levels of both homicide and violence against women.
That’s crazy.
This insanity is on the rise, worldwide.
