Project: 'They want to return us home with our mouths shut': experiences and strategies of women journalists in the face of digital violence in Mexico
Supervisor: Dr. Ana Paulina Gutiérrez Martínez
Within the scenario of political polarization, advances by the ultra-right and anti-feminist waves in which Latin America finds itself, Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries to be a journalist. Considering this panorama, I seek to investigate the situation of women journalists, more specifically about the digital violence they receive based on their profession and gender.
Recognizing that this research emphasizes just one of the aspects of the great problem of violence against women in Mexico, I think that the chosen approach dialogues with relevant aspects of the contemporary Latin American and global context about the digitization of social life, the growing wave of digital violence against women and its relationship with ICTs. Exposing, then, a current generized social order and a scenario of generalized violence, which are also presented in sociodigital spaces.
In this sense, this work is academically relevant due to the look towards gender as an essential component of the analyzed process and the digital focus of violence. It has social relevance as well due to the fact that journalistic work is essential for the preservation of democracy. When these professionals are violently responded to, the right to information and freedom of expression in the country and in the region are also under attack. Then, this research aims to offer a contribution on the study of digital violence experienced by women journalists in Mexico, based on their experiences and thinking them as protagonists of the social phenomenon studied.
