After hearing news about the situation in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico regarding the murder and disappearances of hundreds of women over several years, I thought it would be useful to find campaigns regarding this issue. Apparently after all this time, an International Tribunal may hear some of the reports. However, my search unveiled various old campaigns but nothing that seems to be recent. Unfortunately, it is as if the whole affair has been swept under the carpet.
Therefore, I have found a site with much information about issues affecting women throughout the world that dealt with this issue in 2002. It does give some campaigning ideas that you may wish to pursue (Link at the end). Searching on the internet will reveal previous campaigns should you wish to know more and I will put the other links I found in the comments section at a later date.
The site, however, is a very good source of information on a variety of issues facing women all over the world and has action appeals that you can get involved in and it seems to be updated regularly.
