Gendered Violence in the Maquiladora Labor Force
This article contributes to the current discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of export-oriented industrial vocations for women as well as how international labor standards affect these occupations. The goal of this piece is to challenge ideas that portray export-based, industrial occupations as respectable choices for women in Mexico and Central America, as well as to cast doubt on the idea that global labor standards may serve as a substitute for bettering working conditions. This article is based on extensive research on women in Mexico's and Central America's maquiladoras and emphasizes three interconnected issues: the importance of local and regional settings that shape various industrialization trajectories across time, the agency represented by women workers, and the legal tools already set in place in efforts to improve working conditions. As soon as the maquiladoras are running, gender plays a key role in both disguising and preserving class relations in the city of Juárez, Mexico. Given that several women are brutally murdered in Mexico, with Juárez as one of the main city targets, it is essential to look into both the potential male offenders and the maquiladoras export processing zone. Oftentimes, young women are murdered as a result of economic frustration, being directed at the maquiladora workers. Working women are viewed by the maquiladora system as "cheap labor" and easily replaceable, which makes it easy and acceptable to kill these women without consequences. In order to examine the relationship between gender and production, gender and violence, this article focuses on situating the killings of these women within their social and ideological contexts. In this piece, the reasons for these women's treatment and the social justifications for it are examined.

Due to the cruel and horrific appearances of violence against women in Mexican society, feminists have been working at the community level to end sexual violence against women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, many years before the #MeToo movement was even conceived. Sociologists and feminists wonder whether the #MeToo movement has already taken root in Mexico and if so, how? Sociologists and feminists ask themselves questions such as: Has Ciudad Juárez's #MeToo movement made an influence on women's lives there? If so, by how much and why? This article explores the significance of maquiladoras and how the working conditions there have impacted women as well, by allowing the exploitation of women. Finally, the article successfully communicates all of its ideas through a thorough discussion between its authors.

This article explores the categories of race, class, gender, and capitalism and how they exist in the neoliberal maquiladoras of Mexico. Neoliberalism is being placed in the framework of the U.S.-Mexico border region, and it is being described as a highly racialized, classified, and gendered site. The article also discusses how the racialization of individuals living south of the border underlies and reinforces the prosecution of "illegal aliens '' and how it puts Mexican women and children in danger. The racialization and gendering of the maquiladora workplace is also explored alongside the work process of U.S. distribution centers and the supply chain of commodities. In the city of Juarez, where women have been brutally murdered as a result of the maquiladora killings, the heartless mindset of regarding Mexican women as throwaway bodies is on display and is highly enforced.

By focusing on the border region that is made up of the maquiladoras, the author hopes to demonstrate that feminist politics should take into account how displays of different emotions and expressions enhance and perpetuate the false, negative perceptions about Mexican Americans. An analysis of the US-Mexican border as a symbol for social divisions and that is heavily policed is important to understanding the treatment of Mexican and Mexican American women in the United States and globally. The piece also reveals the various ways that American coworkers subjected these Mexican women to discrimination at work and how women who work in the maquiladora labor force are not given any respect due to the fact that they are treated horribly and earn pitiful pay. Finally, the article demonstrates why this occurs in Mexico and what are ways to address it.

In her piece, Rita Segato makes an effort to make sense of the femicides that occur in Ciudad Juárez. Segato examines the violence, bigotry, and ego with which Mexican men treat their women. These women are typically young ladies who are small, dark skinned, with long hair and work largely in the maquiladora labor force... In comparison to other parts of Mexico, Ciudad Juárez is a risky place for women to live. These Mexican men view these women's bodies as throwaway and erasable objects that they can use anyway they choose. As if that weren't clear, the bodies of women from the Mexican border continue to be consumed by misogyny that has reached the most dreadful level of brutality.

In this article, Rita Segato investigates the historical changes associated with war and the essential role that inhumanity obtains in it toward people who do not participate in the conflict, such as women and children. According to Segato, violence against women has stopped being an outcome of war but instead has turned into a strategic goal. Governed by armed corporations with the participation of state and para-state forces, this is where the new forms of conflict take place. Tragically, women and children have become victims of both physical abuse, bodily mutilation, body trafficking and commercialization.

In a nutshell, Rita Segato is presenting a decolonial feminist viewpoint that contends that patriarchal political structures existed in communal societies prior to colonialism. According to Segato, the modern gender system's capture the changes of pre colonial dual gender structures which worsen inequality, boosts violence against women, and depoliticizes them. To Segato, pre colonial gender differs significantly from colonial-modern societies gender structures, which operate in terms of a beneficiary and its subordinated others. In this article, Segato focuses on the patriarchal institutions of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico and Brazil's National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) to extensively analyze and characterize these preexisting structures.
