N2  - <p>An extreme expression of violence and sadism against women in Mexico is the increase in murders of women throughout the country. The causes of this violence are associated with the increase in extreme poverty, unemployment, the disintegration of the peasant economy, and social polarization imposed on the poor by neoliberal policies. Femicide and violence may therefore be considered components of the current structural crisis of the capitalist system.</p><p />
