“…Such dynamics are common in Mexico, where normalization of GBV is common . Despite progressive reforms and institutional mechanisms to address VAW in Mexico, there prevail biases in the justice system that discriminate against women victims and make them less likely to access their right to due process (Durán, 2020;Saucedo & Huacuz, 2011). The pervasiveness of this type of gender bias may lead the public to tolerate impunity, or lower levels of punishment, for murders of women compared to murders of men.…”

While structural factors help explain the supply of impunity for the murder of women in Latin America, we know less about how much citizens demand stronger responses to cases of lethal violence against women (VAW). What social norms prevail for punishing lethal VAW? What do citizens expect of the state's response? We investigate these questions in Mexico, using a conjoint experiment embedded in a national survey. We causally estimate the degree to which citizens have egalitarian or discriminatory views regarding the deservingness of justice for homicide victims who are women (vs. men). We find a mismatch between the judiciary’s shortcomings regarding VAW and public opinion: citizens expect and prefer harsher penalties for lethal VAW. Further, we find a discrepancy between preferences and expectations: the public supports stronger punishment for women’s murders, but perceives high impunity, and women on average expect a larger difference between their preferences and expectations than men.

“…A complex net of factors contributes to systemic impunity for VAW. This includes corruption, ineffective legal frameworks, overburdened justice systems, & resistance to change (see Durán, 2020;Huacuz, 2011;McWilliams & Aoláin, 2013;Washington Valdes, 2005). 2 Pervasive violence is an accelerant (McWillians & Aoláin, 2013).…”
