Abstract
Gender based violence (GBV) and femicide is common in Mexican society especially affecting the most marginalised such as Indigenous women. This qualitative research will explore the intersecting forms of gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic status that make Indigenous women so very vulnerable. By reviewing previous studies and conducting semi structured interviews with Mexican NGOs that work with Indigenous communities as well as Indigenous women themselves, this study highlights that historical colonial legacies continue to discriminate Indigenous women in a systematic way preventing them to enjoy and practise their human rights. Indigenous women are more vulnerable to violence in their homes due to the community's strong traditional customs such as machismo attitudes, patriarchal gender norms and lack of autonomy. The study sheds light on the ways that Indigenous women deal with multiple forms of oppression that are connected to their identities. Using an intersectional approach is crucial to break down the system that allows for GBV against the communities. Future research should expand the scope of intersectional analysis to encompass facets that go beyond gender, ethnicity and class.
