ADRIANA SARMIENTO ENRÍQUEZ, FEMALE MURDERED IN CIUDAD JUÁREZ.

CIUDAD JUÁREZ SITUATION

Ciudad Juárez (Chihuahua, Mexico) is a city with more than 2 million inhabitants, the fourth biggest city in Mexico. Marginalization, poverty, danger, drug and human traffic or violence against women, are some of the difficulties that the Juarenses have to face everyday.

In 1993 the United States, Canada and Mexico signed the North America Free Trade Agreement, which meant the beginning of female murders and disappearances. The profile of women is: young (from 11-22 years old in the 72% of the cases), attractive and assembly plants employees. Foreign companies installed in Ciudad Juárez their assembly plants (automobile, electronics and medicine products). The most part of the employees were women, because they generated less labor conflicts. They earn about 4$ a day and sexual harassment is present in their jobs by men with higher jobs.

ADRIANA SARMIENTO ENRÍQUEZ

Adriana, the day she disappeared.

Adriana, a 15 year-old student, disappeared on January 2008. She went to a friends house, who took her to the bus which was supposed to take her home. The bus stopped very near her house. Adriana's mother, Ernestia Enríquez, phoned her and listened music, so she supposed that Adriana went out to dance with her friends. That was the last time they know something about her. The FGE found Adriana's mortal remains in November 2009, when they knew the identity they were given to her family. The investigation aimed that she disappeared in the center of the city, where the most part of kidnappings took place.
