Abstract:
One of the most relevant social problems in Mexico is femicide violence. That is the reason why we need to think about solutions. This paper is based on a work in which we have carried out situated knowledges and followed some principles of the Feminist Activist Research. The work focused on collecting the experiences of relatives and activists who fight to stop femicide violence in a region of central Mexico. The article explains how research was constructed from feminist approaches and shows how to weave the collected data as a dialogue of knowledge and not a hierarchical analysis. The idea is to continue contributing to the creation of a feminist scientific community.
